All artistic, literary,
and musical works have copyright protection the instant they are fixed in a
physical form.
-If you sketch an
illustration on a cocktail napkin, it’s copyrighted.
-If you take a
photograph with a camera, it’s copyrighted.
-If you write a blog
post that has at least a minimal degree of creative authorship, it’s
copyrighted.
-If you make up a new
tune and record yourself whistling it, it’s copyrighted.
However, that copyright
doesn’t last forever. The duration of copyright protection varies from country
to country, and may depend on such factors as whether it was created by an individual
or a corporation, and if and when it was published. For most countries,
copyright protection lasts for 50–70 years after the creator’s death.
So, find out what the
laws of your country are on copyright duration, and research the relevant
factors for the creative work whose copyright you are trying to determine.
