On September 29, 2015, Rightscorp, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a representation agreement (the “Representation Agreement”) with Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC (“Sony”), pursuant to which Sony appointed the Company as its agent solely to monitor the Internet for infringements of copyrights owned and/or controlled by Sony (the “Protected Copyrights”) in certain musical compositions, resulting from unauthorized downloads and uploads by individual infringers (“Infringers”) on online peer-to-peer networks (“Infringements”), for a term of one year, which term will automatically renew in 30 day increments, unless Sony provides 15 days written notice of termination. Pursuant to the Representation Agreement, Sony further authorized the Company, during the term of the Representation Agreement, as Sony’s agent, to collect data as to Infringements of the Protected Copyrights, send notices to Internet Service Providers of such Infringements, negotiate and collect settlements on Sony’s behalf with each Infringer for each identified Infringement of the Protected Copyrights (“Settlements”), and pay Sony 50% of the Net Revenues (as defined in the Representation Agreement) from such Settlements.

About Rightscorp, Inc.
Rightscorp (RIHT) is a leading provider of data and analytic services to support artists and owners of copyrighted Intellectual Property (IP). The Company's patent pending digital loss prevention technology focuses on the infringement of rights to digital content such as music, movies, software, books and games and ensures that the rights of owners and creators are protected. Rightscorp works closely with its clients to develop programs of education and notice, and as necessary to pursue copyright infringers for their illegal file sharing activities via notifications sent through Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The Company's technology identifies copyright infringers, who are provided information about copyrights and the importance of Intellectual Property and offered a reasonable opportunity to terminate their activities and pay a nominal settlement option that is generally a fraction of the statutory minimum in an effort to avoid the need for expensive litigation. With minimum statutory penalties of $750 and up to $150,000 per infringement, Rightscorp's technology and process of notice allows all parties to efficiently and economically address copyright infringement without the costs and burdens of litigation. Based on the fact that 22% of all Internet traffic is used to distribute copyrighted content without permission or compensation to the creators, Rightscorp's technology and process provides one of the best and most cost efficient means of addressing this issue for both the artists and those who have infringed their works.
