COPYRIGHT
is a way to protect your work legally. “Work” can be in the

include films or any video output, theater plays, and
architectural works

Ideas, common principles and concepts,
and works from the government are not
covered by Copyright. Another
exception is the work under somebody
else's contract. This means if someone
hired you to write something for them,
the ownership of the "work" will go to
that person who hired you. If there are
multiple creators of the "work",
ownership will go to those multiple
creators.
