About Rightscorp, Inc.
Rightscorp (OTCQB: RIHT) is a
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
