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). 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. http://www.rightscorp.com/
