Best Answer

Copyright law protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works. It can include works such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture. Copyright does not protect names, titles, common words/phrases, facts, ideas, systems, or methods of operation
