Fallacy of composition or Cox lawsuit is lazy and broad 

By saying Cox or any ISP/cable provider is liable, Sony can sue Cox etc instead of one single user

Total BS case

Supreme Court Wants US Input On Whether ISPs Should Be Liable For Users’ Piracy

>the major record labels argue that cable provider Cox should be held liable for failing to terminate users who were repeatedly flagged for infringement based on their IP addresses being connected

This should be rejected. Cox should not be able to be roped into providing free assistance help to Sonys business model. 

If Sony has proof of crimes committed at that IP address, it should pursue legal action against the end-user....being able to force other 3rd businesses to act as a unpaid agent in your defense is illegal / unethical. 

Otherwise, this means that Cox would need to vet *every single* potential legal claim brought against any / all users. You could basically DoS Cox by just filing endless legal claims against all of its IP addresses.
