Attached Link: WHAT WORKS ARE PROTECTED?

Direct Quote (ref the link): WHAT WORKS ARE PROTECTED? Copyright protects "original works of authorship" that are fixed in a tangible form of expression. The fixation need not be directly perceptible so long as it may be communicated with the aid of a machine or device. Copyrightable works include the following categories: * literary works; * musical works, including any accompanying words * dramatic works, including any accompanying music * pantomimes and choreographic works * pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works * motion pictures and other audiovisual works * sound recordings * architectural works These categories should be viewed broadly. For example, computer programs and most "compilations" may be registered as "literary works"; maps and architectural plans may be registered as "pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works.
