ON
COPYRIGHT
Copyright
law deals
with protecting creative expression
fixed in a tangible medium. Copyright arguably covers just about
everything we write down or record. Since 1989, when the
formality of the copyright notice was made unnecessary, everything with
a minimal amount of creativity in it that has been written down, saved
to a hard drive, recorded to tape, or otherwise fixed is protected by
copyright. That means that you may have valuable assets in the
form of written expression that you could be commercially
exploiting. It also means that you have to be careful not to
infringe on the rights of others.
