Cox Communications, Inc. v. Sony Music Entertainment · ¶39

Thus, Cox is not contributorily liable for the infringement of Sony's copyrights. Cox provided Internet service to its subscribers, but it did not intend for that service to be used to commit copyright infringement. Holding Cox liable merely for failing to terminate Internet service to infringing accounts would expand secondary copyright liability beyond our precedents.
