A fulsome discussion about the legal implications of the shift from “traditional” TV and film funding and delivery models to streaming services and internet platforms (Twitch, YouTube etc.) and the effects on the IP rights of production companies, artists, and distributors with reference to content regulation, project financing, distribution and licensing.

• the changing importance of copyright ownership from a regulatory and business standpoint
• the increasing importance of trademark, personality rights and domain ownership
