RoyaltyShare Wins 'Best Presenter' Award at New York Venture Summit

Premier Venture Capital Industry Event Honors RoyaltyShare Chairman and CEO

SAN DIEGO, June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- RoyaltyShare, a premier provider of technology solutions to the entertainment industry, today announced that Bob Kohn, co-founder, chairman and CEO, was awarded "Best Presenter" in the tech category at the 2009 New York Venture Summit.

The New York Venture Summit, presented by youngStartup Ventures, is the premier industry gathering connecting senior executives of early stage and emerging growth companies, venture capitalists, angel investors, technology transfer professionals, university researchers, incubators, successful entrepreneurs and premier service providers.

Kohn is a leading expert on music licensing and intellectual property law and policy, as well as the co-author of "Kohn On Music Licensing," a 1,600 page legal treatise that USA Today called "the bible on legal issues in the music world." In 1998, he founded eMusic.com, Inc., the pioneering MP3 music-download service acquired in 2001 by Universal Music Group. Kohn is a frequent lecturer and panelist at industry conferences and has made numerous appearances on television news programs as an authority on copyright and entertainment law.

Since the company was founded in 2005, RoyaltyShare's software-as-a-service platform has been adopted by more than 150 music and entertainment companies to help manage the complexities of digital sales management and royalty processing. As more and more revenue is shifting from physical to digital distribution, media companies are faced with the daunting challenge of processing massive micro transactions from dozens of sources. RoyaltyShare's technology automates the management of these sales files and provides a centralized platform for managing metadata, licenses and contract terms, as well as calculating and tracking royalties owed to right holders.

"Bob was informative and engaging, sharing valuable insight about the future direction of digital content and RoyaltyShare's key role in this rapidly evolving market," said Stephen M. Davis, a partner with Goodwin Procter LLP and Chair of the 2009 New York Venture Summit. "Every year the caliber of our company presenters grows by leaps and bounds. We were fortunate to have Bob inform our audience about the evolving trends that are changing the way people consume content across multiple platforms."

"The New York Venture Summit is an excellent venue for venture capitalists and entrepreneurs to share their knowledge and experience about working together to start innovative companies and build great businesses," said Kohn. "The award we were honored with at the Summit is a tribute to the hard work of the entire RoyaltyShare team."
