Supreme Court Rejects Sony's Attempt to Kick Music Pirates Off the Internet

The Supreme Court has rejected Sony's attempt to remove music pirates from the internet, ruling in favor of Cox in an important online piracy case. This decision relies on the precedent set by Sony's 1984 Betamax win, which protected technology that could be used for both lawful and unlawful purposes. The ruling reinforces the legal distinction between providing tools and directly facilitating copyright infringement.
