RIGHTSCORP, INC. (OTCMKTS:RIHT) Files An 8-K Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On April 17, 2017, the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York dismissed the case Windstream
Services, LLC v. BMG Rights Management (US) LLC Rightscorp, Inc.
on a motion by Defendants. In its order granting the motion to
dismiss, the Court rejected Windstream Services, LLCs attempt to
obtain a declaratory judgment and ruled that even conduit
internet service providers (ISPs) are subject to the provisions
of Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Section 512(i) such
that, to qualify for the DMCA safe harbor protection against
claims of copyright infringement, such ISPs must implement
conforming repeat infringer policies. Rightscorp, Inc. (the
Company) believes this ruling validates the Companys position
that ISPs have responsibilities to reign in piracy on their
networks.
