tl;dr Cox Communications [RIC:RIC:COXC.UL], the cable television and internet service provider, convinced a U.S. appeals court to throw out a $1 billion jury verdict in favor of several major record labels that had accused it of failing to curb user piracy, setting the stage for a new trial on the matter. Nevertheless, the appeals court "affirmed the jury’s verdict that Cox is a willful infringer," and that "the evidence of Cox's complete disregard for copyright law and copyright owners has not changed." Cox disagreed with the ruling that it still infringed."Providing homes and businesses with the broadband service that so many depend on in their daily lives should not be a violation of copyright law," the spokesperson said.
