June 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Rightscorp (OTCQB: RIHT), the leading champion of artists
and other holders of copyrighted Intellectual Property (IP),
announced today that its CEO Christopher
Sabec will co-chair the 6th Annual 2015
Anti-Piracy & Content Protection Summit in Los Angeles on July
20-22, 2015. Mr. Sabec's invitation to co-chair this event
signifies his leadership in anti-piracy and rights protection.
"I am honored to serve as co-chair of this event, as I believe
it is a great resource for the latest and most useful information
to protect copyrighted IP and support creators," said Christopher
Sabec, CEO of Rightscorp. "Copyright infringement and piracy are
major issues plaguing all creative industries. Rightscorp offers a
simple, elegant solution that has proven effective in protecting
digital assets. Through reasonable settlements – and avoiding
litigation – our solution protects owners of IP and fosters further
creativity."
At the 2014 Summit, Mr. Sabec delivered a key presentation on
Internet Service Providers' (ISPs) legal obligations to content
creators and their liability for subscriber infringements. In this
talk, Mr. Sabec highlighted the growth of peer-to-peer piracy in
North America and noted that under
U.S. law, no one is entitled to participate in piracy with
impunity. He also encouraged rights owners to hold ISPs accountable
for piracy on their networks. In this year's summit, Mr. Sabec will
be speaking in the session "Web 4.0: It's Time for the Internet to
Grow Up," in which he will advocate for a future when the IP of
creators is protected on the web.
The 6th Annual 2015 Anti-Piracy & Content
Protection Summit brings together experts in the film, TV, gaming,
music, software, sports, and e-publishing industries, along with
content producers and developers, law enforcement officials,
