Hi Dimi, I didn’t see anyone else follow up on this one but here’s my 2c - we might want to go into the « rightsholder » category because 1) that’s what WP editors are, and 2) it would be a good way to thwart any attempt by anyone to say « rights holders unanimously support greater restrictions/protection ». Part of the message should be that the world is not all black vs. white (or IP thieves vs. Rights holders).
