Supreme Court sides with internet service provider Cox in fight with record labels over pirated music
NY Post
The US Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that Cox Communications cannot be held liable for piracy by its internet service subscribers of songs owned by Sony Music, Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group and other labels, ending their billion-dollar-plus music copyright lawsuit.
The 9-0 ruling overturned a lower court’s decision to order a new trial to determine how much the internet service provider owed the record labels for a form of liability called contributory copyright infringement.
Cox had said a retrial could have produced a verdict against the Atlanta-based ISP of as much as $1.5 billion.
More than 50 labels joined to sue Cox in 2018.
Internet service providers like Cox are generally not considered liable under US law for infringement by their users if they take reasonable measures to address it.
But the labels accused Cox, the largest unit of privately owned Cox Enterprises, of failing to respond to thousands of infringement notices, cut off internet access for repeat infringers or take other piracy-deterrence steps.
