[Data-modeling] streaming media as a film release distributionmedium?

[Jeff Prucher]

Seems like a reasonable addition. I think that "streaming media" is also
probably the correct level of abstraction, similar to Theatrical and TV
(i.e, the specific format of the film stock or TV encoding system or
software is unimportant), as opposed to other instances like Blu-Ray and
HD-DVD, where the specific format is important. 

I'd say that the region and venue properties would be left blank in these
cases.
