Supreme Court Ruling Protects ISPs from Copyright Lawsuits
The Supreme Court unanimously decided that internet service providers (ISPs) like Cox Cable are not responsible for their customers copyright infringements, such as pirating music and movies online. This ruling overturns a $1 billion verdict that Sony had won against Cox for allowing users to share copyrighted files. The court emphasized that simply providing internet access does not make a company liable for users actions, even with knowledge of copyright infringements. This decision protects ISPs from massive lawsuits and allows them to focus on basic service without constant fear of entertainment industry suits over user actions.
