The Supreme Court decided on June 30 to review a $1 billion jury verdict that music labels won against an internet service provider over music piracy that the provider’s customers allegedly committed.

The new decision took the form of an unsigned order in Cox Communications Inc. v. Sony Music Entertainment. No justices dissented. The court did not explain its ruling.
