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, books, software, 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

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/

revenue growth. Closing over 25,000 new cases in less than 3 months is a testament to our ability to deliver an effective solution
to this problem and assure that the owners of the content we represent are treated fairly.”
