They got a $1bi shakedown in a local court because they successfully fought the RIA in 2015 and won (it was $25mi then).
This time, Cox legal team tried to simply stand behind the DMCA safe-harbor (just like google does) and somehow lost.
it will appeal and win (or likely settle out of court as RIAA already got what it wanted, a hole in safe-harbor)
