They say Cox should have done more to deter or cut off the service of users repeatedly flagged for copyright infringement. The Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had partially upheld the 2019 jury verdict against Cox, but threw out an award of a billion dollars in damages.

Justices Sotomayor and Brown agree with the judgment for different reasons and say the ruling goes too far, limiting future liability claims. Chris Foster, Fox News.
