SANTA MONICA, Calif.,
Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Rightscorp (OTCQB: RIHT), the leading provider of
monetization services for artists and holders of copyrighted
Intellectual Property (IP), announced today that it has closed over
170,000 cases of copyright infringement to date, up 40,000 since
November 2014, representing an
approximate 30% growth within a 2 month period. The Company
currently receives settlement payments from subscribers of more
than 200 ISPs and has approval to collect on over 1.5 million
copyrights.
"We are firing on all cylinders and have been able to
consistently generate growth on many of our operational metrics,"

includes more than 1,000 cases closed on the Comcast and Google
Fiber networks, which control the largest markets in the
U.S. It seems clear that the entire industry is now beginning
to recognize our solution as the most effective in preserving the
rights of copyright holders - artists and content owners. We will
continue to work hard to protect those who create and own
intellectual property."
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

copyright infringers, who are offered a reasonable settlement
option when compared to the legal liability defined in the Digital
