Copyrights
A copyright is a form of protection
provided to those who create “original works of
authorship” whose definition includes literary, dramatic,
musical, artistic,
and certain other intellectual works, both published and unpublished.
The 1976 Copyright Act generally gives the owner of copyright the
exclusive right to reproduce the copyrighted work, to prepare
derivative works, to distribute copies or phonorecords of the
copyrighted work, to perform the copyrighted work publicly, or to
display the copyrighted work publicly.
The copyright protects
the form of expression rather than the ideas contained in work.
For example, a description of a machine could be copyrighted, but this
would only prevent others from copying the description; it would not
prevent others from writing a description of their own or from making
and using the machine. Copyrights are registered by the Copyright
Office of the Library of Congress and have extremely long lifetimes.
Generally, the term is measured by the life of the author
plus 70 years with some exceptions.
