I have an extensive Digital Juice stock collection of animations, video, sound effects, music and so on. Almost every project I work on has some Digital Juice content in it so how would I ever give a client any of these stock elements which are only licensed to me if they requested it? Some of these stock elements are modified by me to the extent that the original stock content would be useless to them anyways.

I certainly don't want to direct my client to the Digital Juice website and show them what I paid for each stock element in their production and how many graphic/video/audio elements were actually used. Besides all of these stock elements are sold in large content library-type packages and not individually.
