1 COPYRIGHT LAW. 2  Copyright law protects the creators of expressive works, such as artists, photographers, writers, and musicians, and gives them the exclusive right to protect how their works are used. 3  It is important to note that, unlike trademark law, copyright law does not protect names or titles.
