“Music Industry Urges Supreme Court to Uphold ISP Copyright Liability Standards”

The nation’s leading record labels are pressing the U.S. Supreme Court to deny a petition concerning the liability of internet service providers for user-generated copyright infringement. The petition, filed by an ISP, seeks clarity on whether ISPs can face substantial liability for such activities. The record labels assert there is no disagreement among federal appellate courts on the issue and argue that the case does not warrant the Court’s review. More details on this case are available via Law360’s report.
