A federal court in Mar ruled that the MSO’s planned network DVR service would have violated content providers’ copyrights. — Former Cox employee William Bryant pleaded guilty in Atlanta federal court to hacking into the MSO’s telecom system in May.

Bryant faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250K.
