Copyright
Copyright is intended for protection of artistic works, such as paintings, drawings, photographs, writings of all kinds, music and theatre. As an artistic matter, it is believed that the artist is inherently entitled to the rights to his work and copyright is obtained automatically without any necessity for registration. However, the protection is much more narrow in that copyright is not intended to protect concepts but is intended instead to protect the actual work itself.
Thus if one were the first to paint a picture of a particular subject, copyright would give no protection for the concept of painting that subject, merely for the detail of the particular work done. |
