A copyright is a defence allocated to authors of certain kinds of initial works. Eight classes of works are addressed in the copyright regulation:

scholarly works
musical works
spectacular works
choreographic and pantomime works
pictorial, graphical or sculptural works
motion images or audiovisual works
sound recordings
architectural works

Copyright attaches when a notion is "fixed in any substantial intermediate of expression." 17 U.S.C. 102. It is important to realise that a copyright does not defend an idea. It only defends the actual expression of that idea (e.g., periodical item, recital, painting).
