Copyright

Copyright protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture. Copyright does not protect facts, ideas, names, titles, slogans or logos. Copyright protection gives the owner of the copyright the exclusive right to display, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works from, and publically perform the copyrighted work. This section explores basic copyright principles from registration to infringement.
