5. Copyright What does it protect? What does it do? How is it granted?
All original ideas in a fixed, tangible medium (e.g. a book, artwork, an audio file, a document, an , etc.). It protects published and unpublished work.
What does it do?
Prevents anyone but the creator from distributing, performing, displaying, copying, and/or making derivatives of the work.
How is it granted?
It is automatically applied and no legal documentation is needed for protection to begin. You can, however, register the work with the US Copyright Office for additional legal leverage.
How long does it last?
It’s complicated! In general, you can assume the law is protection of a work for the entire life of the creator plus and additional 70 years (varies by country).
