I've also found an argument for licensing fee: No creo que queramos llegar a una situación de atraso en la que fuera imposible ver, ojear o copiar material electrónico sin contar con autorización previa o sin haber pagado un canon específico.
We certainly do not want to take a step backwards and have a situation where electronic material cannot be seen, browsed or reproduced without a separate licence (sic) or charge. It probably depends on the specific situation which wording is best. From Wiki: Management of technical specifications, such as those implemented in broadcast television systems, is normally undertaken as a part of broadcast licensing in each country. Various radio bands carry different radio signals, such as video and audio, digital and analog, narrowband and broadband, and different types of content, and are therefore licensed differently. By this licensing may be what you are looking for here. At first I thought it was related to tramission of specific material.
