 * What works are protected by copyright?
 * What works aren't?

The works that are protected by copyright are almost any software, especially if there was creative activity involved and the work was developed independently. People use copyright to make sure that no one will steal their work. To avoid this "plagiarism" people use the copyright sign. If someone is caught using a copy written sign without sourcing it, then it is punishable by law.

If you made your own website, you are more than likely to copyright it. Some uses for copyright are to reproduce the work you have created.Another reason is to display the publicly of your own structures.If you are also working with sounds, then you might want to copy right it as well.

Works that aren't protected by copyright are sites that are "public domain", meaning that anyone can see it. Also, if it isn't your own work, then you wouldn't copyright it.The reason why there are un-copy written things are because there isn't a specific source where they received the "un-copy written item".

Another thing that isn't protected are things that can be considered "inappropriate". Also, it's not protected for things that have a utilitarian function or "useful articles." Examples of theses things are kitchen appliances, bathroom sinks, tables, etc. The reason to avoiding this is to prevent the granting of patent-like protection through the copyright laws. http://www.bitlaw.com/copyright/unprotected.html http://www.concurringopinions.com/archives/2009/03/my_advice_and_p.html
