What Does A Copyright Protect?A copyright protects works of authorship, such as writings, music, and works of art that have been tangibly expressed.
The Library of Congress registers copyrights which last for the life of the author plus 70 years.
Star Wars (the books and films), sound recordings like Mariah Carey albums and LiveAid concerts, and video games like Madden 2007 are all works that are copyrighted.
