About
Rightscorp, Inc.
Rightscorp
(OTCQB: RIHT) is a leading provider of monetization services for artists and holders of copyrighted Intellectual Property (IP).
Since its inception, Rightscorp has been steadily growing and we now represent over 1.5 million copyrights, settled over 75,000
infringement cases and actively monitor over 80,000 copyrights.
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). Based on the fact that 22%
of all Internet traffic is used to distribute copyrighted content without permission or compensation to the creators, Rightscorp
is pursuing an estimated $2.3 billion opportunity and has monetized major media titles through relationships with industry leaders.
