The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Cox Communications v. Sony Music Entertainment that cable internet providers are not liable for customer copyright infringement, dealing a significant defeat to major record labels Sony, Warner, and Universal. The decision is expected to provide broad protections for technology companies offering services with both legal and illegal uses, potentially affecting cases against social media platforms, AI companies, and other tech providers.
