Broadband So Important That Even Infringement Needn't Knock Pirates Offline, Cox Says

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 2025 – Access to broadband is too important to cut internet users off just because those users engaged in copyright infringement, a major ISP argued to the Supreme Court.

The music industry has long argued to the Supreme Court that if an ISP kept a subscriber online who had repeatedly pirated copyrighted music, that provider should be liable for that copyright infringement.

Not so, says cable operator Cox Communications.
