The Supreme Court rejected a billion-dollar lawsuit the major music labels filed against telecom giant Cox Communications, stating that the company cannot be held responsible for music piracy by its users. The court also overturned an earlier ruling that held Cox liable for thousands of songs illegally shared by users, leading to a $1 billion infringement verdict in 2019. The labels attempted to overturn a landmark appeals court ruling in Vetter v. Resnik, which stated that artists can use termination rights to regain their American copyrights and overseas rights, overturning decades of legal precedent and industry practice. The Vetter case raises new questions about the future of music law in an era of booming catalog valuations as songwriters and artists become more aware of their ownership rights.
