RightsMarket and Ansyr Technology Bring Powerful Digital Rights

RIGHTSMARKET.COM INC ("RTS-V") - RightsMarket and Ansyr Technology Bring Powerful
Digital Rights - Management to Hand Held Devices

RightsMarket Inc. and Ansyr Technology, of Bellevue, Washington, announced a strategic
relationship to deliver a digital rights management (DRM) software for Windows-powered handheld
devices. The combination of RightsMarket's DRM solution and Ansyr's Primer PDF reader means
that corporate and commercial content owners will be able to seamlessly enforce digital rights for
materials used on handheld computers and Internet appliances.

RightsMarket's flagship product RightsPublish provides a complete solution for digital rights
management (DRM), offering publishers and content owners the opportunity to substantially
enhance current revenue streams by adding a new digital channel to existing avenues of distribution.
RightsPublish allows publishers and content owners to retain complete control of their intellectual
property while expanding the range of options that have traditionally governed consumer
interactions with printed material. Fully supporting Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF),
RightsPublish enables digital content to be sold through new flexible retail models such as partial
consumption (try before you buy, view only, view and print, etc.) pay per use, expiration, and
subscription.

Ansyr Technology's Primer(TM) is the first product to provide PDF viewing and navigation
capabilities on Windows-powered palm-size and handheld computers. Primer(TM) enables users
to view, navigate, and print documents formatted in Adobe's PDF Format, a worldwide standard
for electronic document distribution. With Primer(TM), any PDF file, including blueprints, large
documents, manuals, forms, images, and spreadsheets can be easily transferred to handheld
devices. With Ansyr's groundbreaking software, mobile professionals have access to vital
information-whatever they need-anywhere they go.

"Through this strategic alliance, RightsMarket and Ansyr Technology are providing content owners
with the ability to broadly, securely, and reliably distribute digital content beyond the desktop to
handheld computers. Our ability to persistently protect content on multiple viewing devices ensures
copyright integrity for content owners and increased flexibility for consumers," says Jim Godsell, VP
Business Development of RightsMarket.

"Combining Ansyr's powerful document viewer for Windows-powered handheld devices with
RightsMarket's end-to-end digital rights management system provides a powerful solution for both
corporate and retail environments. We look forward to offering our complementary combination of
services to a new world of mobile professionals," adds Kevin Omiliak, VP Business Development
of Ansyr Technology. The partners will announce further details during summer 2000. Initial
availability of the products is planned for Q4 2000.
