The brief argues that proving contributory liability requires a showing of “conscious, culpable conduct,” as SCOTUS held recently in Taamneh v. Twitter when the Court examined aiding and abetting liability for social media services in the context of terrorism related content.

The case involves repeated copyright infringement by Cox customers—sometimes on accounts used by multiple people (households, libraries, hospitals). Cutting off service under this standard could leave entire communities offline. Read the full amicus brief here:
