You need to read the Digital Millenium Copyright Act.

Cox has no choice but to comply with the MPAA/copyright.org
demand for decisive action to stop the distribution of the
allegedly-pirated intellectual property. There's no way that
Cox can be said to have violated privacy in this situation
unless they gave out the identity of the accused without a
court order compelling the release of that information.

That is completely lame.  I understand that Cox has the right to monitor,
yet...I hope Cox realizes that people use high speed internet for a variety
of large downloads.  If an action like this is continued by Cox and the
relation with the DMCA, looks like they are going to have a lot of angry
customers for an invasion of privacy.
