Excerpt from CCC Copyright Education-Copyright Foundations

When [does] copyright protection begin[s]? One of the basic principles of the Berne Convention is that of “automatic protection”, which means that copyright protection exists automatically from the time a qualifying work is fixed in a tangible medium (such as paper, film or a silicon chip).

What is protected by copyright? The detailed list of categories of works that are protected by copyright ... generally includes scientific articles, essays, novels, short stories, poems, plays and other literary works; drawings, paintings, photographs, sculptures and other two- and three-dimensional pieces of art; films and other audiovisual works; musical compositions; software and others.
