I’ve recently been grappling with a question of whether a theater director’s efforts to stage a play or musical can be protected by copyright. Directors routinely include in their contracts a clause providing that the Director will own the “direction&# of the show, and shall have the right to copyright it in his/her own name. Should the director be entitled to a royalty if his/her staging is re-created by later licensees of the show?
