"Cox did not profit from its subscribers' acts of infringement," judges rule.
One thing that leaps out at me about this ruling is that courts understand the internet a lot better nowadays. A decade or so ago Sony would have probably gotten away with the argument that Cox profited from the users’ piracy; nowadays judges themselves use the internet and are going to go “lolno, they probably would have been Cox customers anyway. It’s not like anyone pays for internet connection solely to pirate. And in most areas people don’t even have a choice of provider, so how is Cox profiting from this?”
What do you mean, how do you pirate stuff online? Surely you got the hat on? I mean, I can see biting a hard drive might be more appropriate but the hat, come on, the hat!

Create a Lemmy version! Be the change you want to see.
Stop copying my comments ;D
But actually: I don’t want to mod it :/
That’s okay, you can create subs and not mod them. Lemmy has a sort-of-mechanism to transfer modship already.
That’s how true hackers read the data without a cd-rom drive.
i thought he was munching it into shape so it would fit the floppy drive.
And now with AI they can get even weirder, specially if they trained it on already weird stock photos.
