The Supreme Court ruled on March 25 that Cox Communications was not liable for providing internet service to users who illegally downloaded or uploaded copyrighted music.
In a 9–0 decision, the court held that a lower court had erred in finding Cox was liable in providing service to individuals it knew would use it to infringe on copyrights. Instead, the Supreme Court said that companies like Cox could be liable only if they induced the infringement or provided a service that was tailored to that infringement.
