What is Copyright? What can be protected under Copyrights?
SOLUTION:
Copyright:
  • Copyright is a legal term describing rights given to creators for their literary & artistic work.
  • Copyright is a form of protection grounded in the US constitution & granted by law for original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression.
  • Copyright covers both published and unpublished works.


Protected Under Copyrights:
The kind of works covered by copyright include:
  • Literary work such as Novels, Poems, Plays, Relevance Work, Newspapers and Computer Programs, Databases, Films, Musical Compositions & Choreography.
  • Artistic works such as Painting, Drawings, Photographs, Sculpture, Architecture and Advertisements, Maps and Technical Drawings.
  • Copyright subsists in a work by virtue of creation, hence it is not mandatory to register. However, registering a copyright provides evidence. That copyright subsists in the work & creator is the owner of the work.
