SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Christopher Sabec, CEO of Rightscorp (OTCQB: RIHT), a leading provider of data and analytic services to support artists and owners of copyrighted property, was featured in a January 26, 2017 interview with Chris Castle’sMusic Tech Solutions on the discussion of mass notice of intents (NOIs). Mr. Sabec addresses the challenges faced by songwriters/copyright holders as a result of the new filings with the Copyright Office, which allow certain companies, including major on-demand digital services, to manipulate a loophole in the law as a way of forcing copyright owners to let their songs be used for free.
During the interview, Mr. Sabec highlights Rightscorp’s newly developed proprietary database that assist songwriters with sorting through the manual process in determining whether they are subjected to a NOI filing. Typically, songwriters would need to download all the individual mass filings and sort through them to look for particular copyrights and search for themselves in “address unknown” filings. Rightscorp has created a searchable database to assist rights holders in determining the extent of their exposure.
Christopher Sabec, CEO of Rightscorp said, “NOIs have become a major issue in the music industry and something which began with providing good faith in finding the owner of the copyrighted songs, have now been taken advantaged of by many. As of this month, we have identified more than 25.6 million ‘address unknown’ NOIs that have been filed with the Copyright Office. Rightscorp has created a technological solution to this technological problem by building a significant database on these NOIs. We are now providing a new service offering and creating an additional asset that is beneficial to the industry as well as our shareholders. We continued to be dedicated to the vision that creative works should be protected economically on the Internet so that the next generation of great music, movies, and other content can be made and creators can prosper.”
