Company seeking protection for the business process of
automatically distributing infringement notices online to those who
illegally obtain copyrighted material via the Internet MALIBU,
Calif., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today, Nexicon (Pink
Sheets: NXCO), an emerging provider of next generation digital
rights management and digital media intelligence solutions is
pleased to announce the submission of a patent application for its
revolutionary GetAmnesty product. The now patent-pending GetAmnesty
product helps copyright owners turn Internet Piracy into
Profits(TM) through the company's proprietary MARC(TM) technology
platform. For copyright owners of media such as music and movies,
GetAmnesty closes the revenue gap that exists today on the Internet
between content owners and their fans. Each day, millions of
copyrighted music, movies and software files are easily downloaded
by users through BitTorrent, a peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol
used to transfer large amounts of data. Prior to GetAmnesty, the
recording artist or software manufacturer received zero
compensation for their work being illegally distributed through
this powerful channel. Now, copyright owners can finally recover
these significant losses, estimated to be in the billions of
dollars each year. "I designed this process as I knew that our MARC
technology platform could do what no other solution could, enable
the monetization of the illegal download of copyrighted content on
the Internet," said Tommy Stiansen, Nexicon CTO and inventor of
GetAmnesty. "Our engineering team thoroughly enjoyed the many
thousands of hours of effort and creativity that went into the
build of this product. Today we send settlement notices; in the
future we may send invoices." The GetAmnesty Process: -- Nexicon's
MARC technology platform actively monitors the Internet 24x7,
analyzing over 19 billion file transmissions through all major
protocols each day and storing selected data in a warehouse
database -- Specialized artificial intelligence and algorithms
analyze the data and validate the contents, followed by human
verification to ensure the highest level of integrity possible. --
GetAmnesty sends automatic emails to the downloader via their
Internet Service Provider. The user is presented with complete
details of the download (title, protocol, IP address, time/date),
and a password encoded link to http://www.getamnesty.com/ where
they can settle their infringement. -- Settlement amounts equaling
the retail price of the copyright owner's work plus a small
administrative fee are offered to the infringer through a secured
streamlined payment process. About Nexicon Nexicon Inc. delivers

business intelligence products and solutions. For information about
