Law Offices of Gordon P. Firemark - Top Los Angeles Theatre & Film Entertainment Lawyer: Writers and Producers familiar with the way things are done in Hollywood have surely seen the ubiquitous term “Work Made For Hire” in their contracts. It's often a surprise, however, when they learn that in the theatre, Work Made For Hire is the rare exception, rather than the rule.

I wonder why theatre isn't listed under the 1976 copyright act, particularly since movie, and presumably tv as a audiovisual work, are listed under the act. Unless would theatre fall under an audiovisual work? I would tend to guess not both because the article was actually written and therefore that's not a usable loophole, and because the article states that terms for theatre and musical theatre are used elsewhere in the law.
