The deal with the DMCA is that the service provider is not liable for infringement IF it takes prompt corrective action when notified by the copyright holder. IIRC, Cox was basically glad-handing the folks who filed DMCA take downs and doing nothing at all about the infringing customers. Consequently, they lost the DMCA's liability shield. Naturally this upsets them. But I don't think they have a viable appeal.
