Yes. In accordance with the Copyright Act of 1976, this document includes language to clarify if you are selling physical assets only or including licensing rights to footage. It helps mitigate risks of copyright infringement by establishing warranties of originality for the content being transferred.
Illinois has the strictest Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) in the nation.
