$25 Million Verdict Against Cox Communications for Copyright Infringement

December 18, 2015 05:08 PM
On December 17, 2015, a jury found Cox Communications liable for willful copyright infringement and ordered the company to pay $25 million in damages to BMG. The court found that Cox could not rely on the safe harbor provisions available to Internet Service Providers under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), because it failed to terminate service to its subscribers who were repeat infringers. As a result, the jury found that Cox contributed to the copyright infringement of its customers and was liable for such infringement.
