Hi Nahum If you're going to be selling streaming rights, you're actually selling a kind of use license. At very least you'll need to indicate the duration of the rights (i.e. will these rights remain with the licensee in perpetuity? For a limited time? etc.) You should also consider developing a separate license document which states the terms and conditions of use (e.g. who may have access to this stream? Institutional clients only? General public? etc.)
