Supreme Court to Hear Arguments in Cox v. Sony Case—Hearing on ISP Copyright Liability
最高裁がCox v. Sony訴訟の議論を聞く—ISPの著作権責任を巡る審理
The U.S. Supreme Court held oral arguments in Cox v. Sony, which questions whether Internet service providers (ISPs) bear liability for copyright infringement when they fail to act against users' illegal downloads. Justices rigorously questioned the distinction between tacitly condoning illegal activity after receiving notice and “aiding and abetting,” with the balance between ISP obligations and user rights emerging as the central focus.
