Steve HermanSCOTUS unanimously rules ISPs are not liable for copyright infringement if they fail to disconnect music pirates. https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25pdf/24-171_bq7d.pdf

@newsguyusa which does make sense just like any other utility company isn't responsible for their paid-for services being abused for illegal activities.
Ben Ramsey
Paul Chambers🚧@ramsey I think the argument was, once they media industry proves a connected user is an infringer, the ISPs become cohorts if they don't take action. They won a billion dollars up through the appeals process but now SCOTUS overturned all of that.
My post has the cover ruling . https://oldfriends.live/@paul/116290486627454288
@paul @ramsey @newsguyusa kinda like #OCILLA & #SafeHarbour regulations re: #Copyright|ed materials and #hosting only shield the provider from liability unless they knew about said acts…
- See #DMCA claims.
@ramsey I would imagine it will be broadly applied now. I think forums have already been protected from user activity. I think takedowns will still apply. @kkarhan @newsguyusa
@paul @kkarhan @newsguyusa That’s what I mean. We have a DMCA designated agent and an advertised DMCA takedown process, and if we receive a proper takedown notice but fail to address it, is that okay?
@ramsey Yeah.
17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A). Upon receipt of a complaint takedown notice, a service provider must respond expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of the infringing activity. If a service provider fails to do so, it may lose its safe harbor protection and be subject to an infringement suit.
It's also worth noting, unless a website registers a DMCA agent with the copyright office, one really isn't protected as people can claim they sent takedowns.

@paul @kkarhan @newsguyusa That’s why we’ve registered a designated agent, but with this ruling, I’m curious if that means we’re no longer liable if we fail to take action.
