Supreme Court Overturns Verdict Against Cox; Mexico Approves Copyright Reform
What happened
The Supreme Court overturned a $1 billion verdict against Cox in March, ruling that merely knowing about piracy and failing to act is insufficient to make an Internet Service Provider (ISP) liable. Separately, Mexico's Senate approved a reform of the Federal Copyright Law, which links ISP liability to having a policy to terminate repeat infringers. The Chamber of Deputies had already approved this text in October, and the decree now moves to President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Why it matters
The Supreme Court ruling limits ISP liability in the United States. In Mexico, the new law aligns with the USMCA trade agreement and responds to pressure from U.S. rightsholders, potentially changing how ISPs manage copyright infringement.
