Rightscorp Renews Representation Agreement for Peer-to-Peer Data Monitoring with Shapiro Bernstein

Rightscorp, Inc. is a technology company, which has a patent-pending, proprietary method for collecting payments from illegal downloaders of copyrighted content via notifications sent to their Internet service providers (ISPs). It has developed products and intellectual property rights relating to providing data and analytics regarding copyright infringement on the Internet. It protects digital creative works, such as great music, movies, video games and software. It offers and sells a service to copyright owners under, which copyright owners retain it to identify infringements and collect settlement payments from Internet users who have infringed on their copyrights. After it receives an order from a client, its software monitors the global P2P file sharing networks to detect illegally distributed digital media. The technology sends automated notices of the infringing activity to ISPs and the ISP forwards these notices, which contain settlement offers, to their infringing customers.
