Cox Communications is asking a Virginia judge to toss out the record-settingit was assessed in December after being found liable in a piracy case brought by Sony Music, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group and EMI. The company is aggressively pursuing two avenues to wipe out the verdict, asking the judge to either overturn it as a matter a law or to grant them a new trial. The verdict, it says, is “a miscarriage of justice” that is “shockingly excessive and unlawfully punitive.
After a lengthy trial, Cox was found liable for the piracy infringement of more than 10,000 musical works by a U.S. District Court jury in Virginia on Dec. 19. The jury awarded $1 billion in statutory damages to the plaintiffs.Cox, which says the award appears to be the largest in history for statutory copyright damages, contends that the magnitude of the award is not only shocking but “wholly disproportionate to the offense.
