audiovisual rights management

Audiovisual rights management involves controlling and licensing the use of visual media content—such as films, TV shows, and videos—to ensure creators, producers, and rights holders receive proper compensation. It establishes who has the legal authority to distribute, broadcast, or stream content and under what terms. This process helps prevent unauthorized use, maximizes revenue, and facilitates licensing deals across networks, platforms, and regions. Effective rights management ensures that the rights owners retain control over their intellectual property while enabling content to reach audiences through legitimate channels.
