The Rightsrouter(R) platform is a patented digital content licensing management and distribution system that allows a music or video rights holder to catalogue, transact, distribute and manage licensing of its content with the world's major online and mobile retail services.

Beth Appleton, Head of New Media and Business Development for V2 Music remarked, "The Rightsrouter(R) platform enables V2 to quickly and easily deliver our extensive catalogue of content to retailers across the globe. It also allows us to efficiently and accurately manage and track our revenues, reducing administrative costs and streamlining settlement."

Scott Campbell, General Manager at Broad Street Digital commented, "We are very excited about the rapid adoption of Rightsrouter(R) across the music industry. Our unique approach has provided rights holders with a powerful toolset to manage their digital business whilst Broad Street Digital takes care of the technicalities for them in the background. We have seen an increasing number of high profile labels sign with us since January 2007 as we continue to expand our network of retailers including many major wireless and online destinations."

Joel Xavier, A&R Director for Seamless Recordings added, "As an independent UK label group, we don't have the global resources of a major record label. The Rightsrouter(R) platform allows us to reach our targeted online retailers around the world with consummate ease and customize our digital distribution. This versatile system allows us to create significant new revenue streams, nurture existing relationships with established contacts, and market our singles as well as our growing artist and compilation repertoires. With the help of Broad Street Digital, we can compete with the major record labels without the expenses and resources typically needed to reach a global market."
