ABSTRACT
Content is a generic term that we use to describe video and audio programming. Without content, a video network would have nothing to transport. In most cases, the companies and individuals who want to view content need to purchase the rights to do so from the companies and individuals who produce and own the content. Usually, these rights are limited in some way-to a specific number of broadcasts, over a defined period of time, to a certain number of views/downloads, or to any other limit that the content owners and users agree. These rights are usually spelled out in detail in a contract (a license) between the parties.
