Learn What Cannot Be Protected Under Copyright Law
Hi, I'm Nathan Boehme writer and film director with Expert Village. In this series, it's all about copyrights. So what isn't protected by copyright law. Well this isn't very long but I'll give you a quick rundown just so that you can't get mad at me later. For starters anything in proposition like a skit or a play that doesn't have any written dialog or direction. If you create something like this, that you want to copyright it, it would probably be best to get a video copy made or simply transcribe it on paper and mail that in that way. So that goes for a dance or a song that has never been filmed or recored in some way you may have created it but there is not written or visual proof, so you're screwed. So get visual proof things like titles names, short phrases, slogans you can copyright any tangible object which any of these appear but the not word themselves, they are to common. So you are just going to have to learn to share. Finally any created work that consist almost entirely information that is common property and contains original authorship, like a standard calender, tape measure or ruler. All of these things are pretty obvious it just takes a little common sense but other than that the sky's the limit on the things you can create and claim as your own.
