What is copyright?
* Copyright is a form of protection grounded in the U.S. Constitution and granted by law for original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression.

* Literary works. Novels, nonfiction prose, poetry, newspaper articles and newspapers, magazine articles and magazines, computer software, software documentation and manuals, training manuals, manuals, catalogs, brochures, ads (text), and compilations such as business directories
* Musical works. Songs, advertising jingles, and instrumentals.
* Dramatic works. Plays, operas, and skits.
* Pantomimes and choreographic works. Ballets, modern dance, jazz dance, and mime works.
* Pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works. Photographs, posters, maps, paintings, drawings, graphic art, display ads, cartoon strips and cartoon characters, stuffed animals, statues, paintings, and works of fine art.
* Motion pictures and other audiovisual works. Movies, documentaries, travelogues, training films and videos, television shows, television ads, and interactive multimedia works.
* Sound recordings. Recordings of music, sounds, or words.
* Architectural works. Building designs, whether in the form of architectural plans, drawings, or the constructed building itself
How Long Copyright Protection Endures
* Works created on or after January 1, 1978 is given a term enduring for the author’s life plus an additional 70 years after the author’s death.
* Works originally created and published before January 1, 1978 is given a renewal term of 67 years and a total term of protection of 95 years.
* There is no such thing as an “international copyright” that will automatically protect an author’s writings throughout the entire world. Protection against unauthorized use in a particular country depends, basically, on the national laws of that country
