Supreme Court ruling may protect ISPs from copyright claims
The United States Supreme Court has ruled that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are only liable for copyright infringement if they intentionally facilitate it. In the case of Cox Communications v. Sony Music Entertainment, the court determined that Cox was not liable as they neither induced nor tailored their service for infringement. This decision may reduce the pressure on ISPs to police user piracy.
