Show Notes
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Cox Communications is not liable for copyright infringement by its subscribers who pirate music. The case originated in 2018 when Sony Music and other labels sued Cox for over ten thousand copyrighted songs downloaded illegally. The court agreed with Coxs argument that it took steps to fight piracy, such as sending warnings and suspending accounts. The ruling protects internet providers from broad responsibility over user misdeeds, easing pressures to aggressively police every account.
