What types of creative work are protected by copyright?

New Media Rights explains all of the categories of artistic works that the Copyright laws and Copyright Office use. We makes distinctions between tricky things like sound recordings & musical works and literary works & dramatic works. Very useful if you intend to register your work with the Copyright Office yourself.
