3. Our Approach: Rights holders should have direct control of their assets and maintain a direct client relationship with the party distributing their content. Content distributors (e.g. online music services) should be empowered to access a large content catalogue and stay in control over editorial decisions Based on these core principles, Rightsrouter does not stand in the "middle" but simply opens up a direct link between rights holders and content distributors, allowing them to deal with each other in a way that is efficient, transparent and fair. This is what we do - nothing less and nothing more. Rightsrouter Approach © 2004 Rightsrouter - Strictly Confidential
