Justices Seek Solicitor General's Views on Music Industry's Copyright Case Against ISP
The U.S. Supreme Court has requested the Solicitor General’s input on a copyright infringement case involving Cox Communications and major music labels. The case examines whether internet service providers can be held liable for their users’ unauthorized music downloads. Previously, a $1 billion jury verdict against Cox was overturned, prompting appeals from both parties. The Solicitor General’s perspective will assist the Court in deciding whether to hear the case.
