Which right permits charging a distinct fee for viewing at a chosen time and place, including options like EST?

• A. EST
• B. Free Television
• C. Theatrical Distribution Rights
• D. Transactional-Video-On-Demand

Answer: (D)

This question is about the licensing arrangement that lets a distributor charge a separate fee for watching a title whenever the viewer chooses, within a defined window. The best fit for that model is the transactional-Video-On-Demand arrangement. In TVOD, a consumer pays for a single viewing or a time-limited rental and can access the title at their convenience on a device of their choice. It’s designed around per-view or per-rental fees rather than permanent ownership or free access.

By contrast, electronic sell-through is about selling a digital copy to own, with no ongoing per-view rental window, so it isn’t about charging for each viewing in the same way. Free Television refers to broadcasts that are free to view, not paid-per-view. Theatrical Distribution Rights cover movie releases in theaters, not on-demand home viewing with a separate fee per view. So the option that aligns with charging a distinct fee for viewing at a chosen time and place is transactional-Video-On-Demand.
