In the article "Fourth Circuit's Ruling in Sony Music v. Cox Communications and ISP Liability," the Fourth Circuit held that Cox Communications Inc., an internet service provider (ISP), was contributorily liable but not vicariously liable for copyright infringement by its users. The court found that Cox did not qualify for the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's Safe Harbor Provision because its termination policy for repeat infringers was inadequate. Additionally, the court determined that Cox did not directly profit from the infringement and did not have the right and ability to supervise its users, thus not making them vicariously liable. However, Cox was still found to be contributorily liable because they had knowledge of the infringing activity and materially contributed to it by continuing to provide service to repeat infringers.
