<p class="MsoNormal">You will also need to consider if this is going to be a stream that is only available in real-time (essentially the online version of a radio or TV broadcast) or if you are leaving the material up there for catch-up for a period of time
or in perpetuity. That changes the contracting requirements with the publisher / playwright. For a freelance project I was working on with new commissioned scripts, we had to be very clear in our contracts with the playwrights that the material was going
to remain available online and not a fixed number of “performances”. From a design stand-point it also shifts how you need to ask for permission to use copyrighted sound or music.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We have found streaming rights are now an option at most publishers. We were going to do Shakespeare in Love but because it was also a film, streaming rights were not available. We replaced it wi The Book of Will which had streaming
rights. We had to work our rights and securing the lockdown of our stream. We ultimately found a company with point of sale and could lockdown the stream. First show is stream , second show is recorded and played back. There are lots of things to consider.
My job is the equipment for the stream and getting it to work <o:p></o:p></p>

et cetera, who to pay. You will not be the first person to have asked the question.It is more difficult to get the Broadcast or Narrowcast Music Rights from Tams-Widmark, etc. It is Grand Rights in all cases; Public domain work is easier...

We know that to do a stage play (dramatico-musical work) you have to contract to pay royalties for Grand Rights to the author(s.) This is typically done through some rights administrator like Sam French, Tams-Witmark, Concord. And many authors have agreed to
have a streaming version, some have even created a re-written version specifically for that purpose. <br>
<br>
What happens when that work is being performed via a streaming platform like Zoom? Certainly the rights holder still deserves compensation in some way - are those small rights then? Doesn't seem to be mechanical rights unless you are recording the stream. <br>
<br>
What if you broadcast over the Radio -e.g. small town radio has the local HS cast of 4 in the studio to do a version of an old-time radio drama? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
