Copyright Law
Copyright law encompasses a variety of works, including sculpture, art, literature, music, songs, software, video games, graphics, movies, choreography, crafts, poetry, photography, videos, websites, and architecture. The creator of a work is automatically the owner of the copyright at the moment the work is fixed in a tangible medium of expression, as long as it is sufficiently creative and original. However, the creator cannot sue a potential infringer of that work for damages unless the work has been federally registered with the U.S. Copyright Office.
