Online streaming rights Online streaming rights is another unique area. One must first understand that the IP right to the game itself is the game publishers. Game publishers usually would not have an issue with their games being streamed as this not only stirs up greater interest in their game but also increases their revenue. This is why streamers are generally allowed to stream games that they play and streaming is their sole source of income. However, this right must be balanced with the rights of tournament organisers who have to fulfil their obligations toward their sponsors. Should viewers be taken away from the official channel, this will result in sponsors not wanting to sponsor tournaments and thereby affecting the esports ecosystem itself.

In my view, lawyers should embrace, adapt and adopt digitalisation rapidly to stay relevant and competitive with all the industries of the world.
