Cox Communications is trying to overturn a ruling in a copyright infringement lawsuit brought by Sony .

The case began in 2018 when Sony and other music copyright holders sued Cox, claiming that it didn't adequately fight piracy on its network.

A US District Court jury in the Eastern District of Virginia ruled in December 2019 that Cox must pay $1 billion in damages to the major record labels.

Cox wants the Supreme Court to rule that ISPs shouldn't have to disconnect broadband users accused of piracy.
