Ann, my two cents: If you are looking at fine-tuning, I don't think "rights holder" (which in this case would be Selina Fillinger) is what you are after. Based on what you are saying I suspect you mean the production (which has licensed the rights). I also don't think in 2022 that you would restrict it to a commercial release. (If it is on the producer's website(s) or social media channels, I would think that would suffice, and it would differentiate it from something posted on IG by an actor, for instance).

"Rights holder" was always our intention because, although productions and schools often made/ make videos, it was not within the licensing agreement. And, yes, we are more lenient now with some stuff posted by the producers, but that's not usually audience recordings.

My brain is so wired to Broadway but that's obviously a good point about some productions.

With the understanding that I am not pressing anything at all and I am happy with whatever you do or don't do, I am still not crazy about "rights holder" because what's being protected is actually a lot broader than the rights holder. In my experience, the most aggrieved parties with regard to unauthorized recordings are actually actors and not writers. While a producer may have authorization to use recordings in the AEA contract, the writer generally would not. It gets complicated and maybe steering a pretty conservative course does actually make the most sense -- at least in the absence of a separate department to monitor what's being allowed. :-)
