SANTA MONICA, Calif.,
July 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Rightscorp (OTCQB: RIHT), the leading provider of monetization
services for artists and holders of copyrighted Intellectual
Property (IP), announced today that it has secured a representation
agreement with The Royalty Network to represent and monitor its
copyrighted songs and other assets against online copyright
infringement. The Royalty Network, currently celebrating its
20th anniversary, is recognized as one of the music
industry's most powerful music publishing firms.
The Royalty Network has an impressive roster of top songwriters,
producers, and artists; its catalogue continues to grow every year.
Artists' songs represented include Beyonce, Calvin Harris, Kanye
West, Lil' Wayne, Kendrick
Lamar, and many other notable acts. In addition, the Company
represents songs in film and television shows including "The
Hangover" and "American Idol". Much like Rightscorp, The Royalty
Network makes it a priority of informing artists, songwriters, and
producers about copyright ownership, and educating their clients on
how to monetize their copyrights. The Royalty Network maintains a
blog with tips regarding royalties, actively attends conferences,
and participates on panels to educate executives--as well as
up-and-coming artists--on the importance of copyright
ownership.
"We are thrilled to partner with The Royalty Network to help
protect their growing catalog of copyrighted works," said
Christopher Sabec, CEO of Rightscorp. "Content owners continue to
discover that our monitoring service is the best viable solution to
protect their assets from illegal infringement and ensure that they
are compensated for any infringements that do occur. The Royalty
Network is a major force in the music industry and has an excellent
reputation for its business practices, as well as attracting and
working with some of the biggest superstars in the world. At the
core, our two companies are very much aligned in our thinking. We
want to inform and protect the copyright holder from infringement
and loss of revenue. The Royalty Network's reputation for client
satisfaction makes it a sought after place for artists,
songwriters, and producers. We look forward to building this
business relationship, which I believe will be very fruitful in the
years to come."

About Rightscorp, Inc.
Rightscorp (OTCQB: RIHT) is a
leading provider of monetization services for artists and holders
of copyrighted Intellectual Property (IP). The Company's patent
pending digital loss prevention technology focuses on the
infringement of digital content such as music, movies, software,
books and games and ensures that owners and creators are rightfully
paid for their IP. Rightscorp implements existing laws to solve
copyright infringements by collecting payments from illegal file
sharing activities via notifications sent through Internet Service
Providers (ISPs). The Company's technology identifies copyright
infringers, who are offered a reasonable settlement option when
compared to the legal liability defined in the Digital Millennium
Copyrights Act (DMCA). Because 22% of all Internet traffic is used

$2.3 billion opportunity and has monetized major media titles
through relationships with industry leaders.
