Best Answer

A work of sufficient originality is automatically protected as soon as it is fixed. Ideas cannot be protected by copyright, because they aren't fixed. Works of the US Government are also not protected. Recipes--as a list of ingredients--cannot be protected, but the formatting and other text can be.

Logos, slogans, and similar indicia, particularly those used in business, are protected by trademark law. Inventions can be protected by registering a patent. Specialized techniques can be protected as trade secrets.

The copyright holder has the exclusive right to copy, alter, distribute, or perform/display the work, or authorize others to do so. Unless you're the copyright holder, that's what you can't do (when things say "all rights reserved," these are the rights they're talking about).
