Supreme Court justices vacated a 5th Circuit ruling that held Grande Communications liable for contributory copyright infringement. The decision remands the case for reconsideration in light of last month’s Cox v. Sony precedent, which shielded ISPs from liability for merely providing internet access to alleged pirates. Grande faced a potential $46.8 million damages award after record labels alleged it ignored repeated torrenting activity by subscribers. Cox Communications, previously sued by Sony Music, successfully argued that ISPs aren’t responsible for policing users’ behavior unless they directly enable infringement.
