"The amici curiae brief filed by Altice USA, Frontier Communications, Lumen, and Verizon emphasizes that the legal question presented is exceptionally important to the future of the Internet and that forcing ISPs to police copyright infringement could harm innocent users by depriving them of access to essential services, as well as facing massive financial liabilities from litigation by copyright holders."
"Cox's petition to the Supreme Court is crucial as it seeks to overturn the previous ruling against them, which held them responsible for not adequately combating piracy. The support from these major ISPs highlights the potential chilling effect on internet access, particularly for vulnerable populations such as schools and hospitals, if ISPs are mandated to terminate service for users accused of infringement."
