Copyright Matters

A copyright is an expression of the ownership of a work, which can include the written word, artwork, movies, songs and other forms of music, and television shows

A copyright is the law that covers only the form or manner in which ideas or information have been manifested, often referred to as the “form of material expression.” Copyright is not designed or intended to cover the actual idea, concept, fact, style, or technique which is exemplified in or represented by the work; it covers how that idea, concept, fact, style, or technique is expressed by the owner of the copyright. –from The Everything Improve Your Writing Book by Pamela Rice Hahn
