Copyright
Law
Copyright protects
creative expression in a wide variety of forms,
including: literary works, computer software,
musical works (the lyrics, the musical score, and
the sound recording of the work), dramatic works,
choreographic works, pictures, graphics of any type
in any medium, sculptural works, photographs,
videos, motion pictures, and architectural works,
among many others. For works that originate in the
United States, copyright protection applies the
moment the work is expressed in a tangible medium. No publication, registration or other action in the
U.S. Copyright Office is required to secure
copyright. There are, however, certain advantages to
registration. See the U.S. Copyright Office website
at
http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html.
