CEG TEK 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). Copyright Enforcement Group
