| First of all, it is not true that direction is inherently different but it is harder to prove for the reasons rehearsed in this thread. Much of what a director does plays out in the hands of others. And as I said below, a lot of "original" things are not actually original. Think about it. But I can envision situations where something reflects a director's imprint and could lead to an infringement. The key is sourcing the contribution, and then marrying it to a particular production, but remaining mindful that ideas are not copyrightable unless they appear in writing, sketches, etc. The basic problem for directors is that they generally don't do these things. And regarding choreography, the difference is that (sometimes, when it might be actionable) it is a unique series of observable actions. It takes a very unusual situation for a director's work to fall (a) outside the script and (b) prescriptive of a unique and demonstrable set of actions. | |
