These are protectable under other laws (patent, trade secret ...).... "(b) In no case does copyright protection for an original work of authorship extend to any idea, procedure,
process, system, method of operation, concept, principle, or discovery, regardless of the form in which it is
described, explained, illustrated, or embodied in such work."
The law gives the copyright holder the right to take legal action against infringers.Copyrights grant the licensor the right to prohibit the reproduction, restrict the duplication, remove the performance, delete the display, or confiscate the distributed copyrighted material from sources which infringe upon the subject matter, and scope of the copyrighted work.
Your conclusion is once again incorrect.In conclusion, as with a display that infringes upon the subject matter and scope of a copyrighted work, a stream that infringes upon the subject matter and scope of a copyrighted work can only be prohibited respectively of reproduction, restricted respectively of duplication, removed respectively of performance, deleted respectively of display, or confiscated respectively of distribution.
So in the case of streaming of media content, the consumer, is the owner of the purchased license, and the holder of the licensed work, which is not reproduced, duplicated, performed, displayed, nor distributed. So there is no work to be prohibited, restricted, removed, deleted, or confiscated from the media content streaming corporation.
Per se.
The purchaser owns only the single work that has been purchased. No rights have been transferred. For rights in a copyrighted work to be transferred, the copyright holder must expressly sign these rights away in a written and signed transfer agreement.
A license generally will not transfer all exclusive rights to a copyrighted work (which would create a new copyright owner). A license will grant limited (non-exclusive or exclusive) rights to the copyrighted work. Exceeding the scope of rights granted in the license is infringement.
You are doing a lot of research, which is fine, but I do not see you escaping the need for a personal review of your app plans by an IP attorney in your area and for personal instruction on the law. You are seemingly not understanding it properly from your readings.
Good luck.
