RCN Urges Judge to Toss the Major Labels’ ‘Last’ Piracy Liability Lawsuit

Internet service provider RCN has asked a New Jersey federal court to reconsider a six-year-old ruling and dismiss the major record labels' piracy liability lawsuit. RCN argues that the Supreme Court's decision in Cox v. Sony wiped out the legal basis for the claims. With "repeat infringer" cases against other ISPs already dropped, RCN says it is the last major label lawsuit of its kind still alive.
