I think it would be safer to have the invariant that 0 <= currentTime <= duration. Most resources will probably have startTime==0 so authors will write scripts expecting these invariants, and their scripts will break when confronted with unusual resources with startTime>0. So I think a safer design would be to interpret currentTime as relative to the startTime, perhaps renaming startTime to 'timeOffset' instead?
