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.
