Cox ISP to pay $25m to BMG, liable for pirate users, jury verdict:

Jury sides against Cox in 'trailblazing' music piracy case

"Cox also had argued it was shielded from liability by a 1998 law that creates a so-called â??safe harborâ? from copyright claims for Internet providers so long as they take certain steps, such as investigating claims of illegal downloads by users."

"... the ISP isn't protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act "safe harbor" because the company did not "reasonably implement" a policy to terminate repeat infringers."

"Cox refused to cut off service to repeat infringers, which Internet providers must do under federal law to qualify for immunity from copyright infringement claims."

"Cox had been terminating an average of 15.5 accounts per month; from October 2012 until November 2014, when the BMG lawsuit was filed, Cox terminated 22 customers in all, or 0.8 per month."

"Several major cable and phone companies (but not Cox) were already participating in a voluntary copyright alert system that pinged customers for illegal sharing. Customers who ignored warnings could have their home Internet service temporarily slowed or downgraded."

"The verdict is bound to cause grave concern among various other U.S. Internet providers. At the moment itâ??s rare for ISPs to disconnect pirating users and this case is likely to change that position."

Thread title was wrong, should have said this :

"Dindu Nuffin to pay $25m to BMG, liable for pirate."

Yawn. Wait for the appeal or the appeal window to end.

I only check out GFY every few days at the moment.

I don't really have much of an opinion about this ruling.

Generally though, I do think that any service provider providing services to facilitate piracy should cut off the pirates from those services if it's shown that they are using the service unlawfully.
