streaming rights
Digital distribution licenses
Streaming rights are the legal permissions to distribute content through internet streaming services.
Media companies negotiate separately for theatrical, broadcast, and streaming rights, which is why a movie might appear on one platform, disappear, then surface on another: Netflix lost the streaming rights to that show.
The fragmentation of streaming rights across competing services has made finding specific content increasingly complicated.
