US Supreme Court says ISPs aren’t liable for their users’ piracy — top judiciary body unanimously rules that Cox Communications did not commit copyright infringement

The US Supreme Court unanimously ruled that ISPs like Cox Communications are not liable for their users' piracy activities. This decision overturned a previous case where Cox was sued for copyright infringement by music labels for not terminating subscribers flagged for downloading pirated content. The court stated that ISPs are not responsible for the actions of individual users and cannot be held liable as copyright infringers for providing internet services. This ruling sets a precedent that ISPs have limited knowledge of how their services are used and are not obligated to monitor or control user activities.
