What does Streaming Rights mean?
Streaming Rights are the legal rights to distribute a film, TV show, or other media content on digital platforms like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, or YouTube. These rights are typically sold to streaming services, which then have the exclusive or non-exclusive rights to make the content available to subscribers. Streaming rights can be sold for specific regions, time periods, or platforms, depending on the agreement. For example, Netflix may acquire exclusive streaming rights for a film in North America, while a different platform may have the rights for international markets.
Example:The production company sold the streaming rights to a major digital platform, allowing the film to be viewed exclusively online.
