What does copyright protect? Copyright, a form of intellectual property law, protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, Web sites, and architecture.
A copyright is a person's exclusive right to reproduce, publish or sell his or her original work of authorship (or intellectual property). The work of authorship must be in tangible form. This means that copyright can apply to a song, a written work, a photograph, a film or a graphic design.
