dématérialisation des supports

English translation: digitisation/digitization of media

French to English translations [PRO]
Games / Video Games / Gaming / Casino / Contract for right to reproduce works on karaoke videograms.
French term or phrase: dématérialisation des supports
Contract conferring right to reproduce words and music on karaoke videograms. Context:
"Cette réserve joue également dans le cas de dématérialisation des supports".
I've found just one reference to this expression in Proz search, translated as "media transformation". Is that right in this context? It wouldn't/couldn't be "intangible media"? Something like Wifi (a complete mystery to me). Thanks in advance for suggestions.
