Copyright in its broadest sense is the legal right(s) created by the law that grants the creator of an original work the rights to its use and distribution usually for a limited time with the intention of enabling the author of the original work receive compensation for their efforts (Yoo, 2011).

Nothing needs to be done to claim copyright. Writers and writers are often surprised to learn that their works and efforts are automatically protected by the constitution. Although some additional efforts and rights need to be applied during registration at the copyright office, protection of guaranteed once a work is created. Therefore, copyright is automatic once a work is created (Yoo, 2011).

The symbol © is used as a copyright notice and informs everybody that the work is original and is protected by the copyright laws (Yoo, 2011). . It was initially mandatory for the symbol to be included to original works for them to be copyrighted. However, after the enactment of the Berne Convention, the use of the symbol notices has become optional to claim copyright because the Berne convention made copyright automatic. It is therefore not necessary to include the symbol in any works for them to appear protected by copyright laws.

Copyright is not applicable if the works has not been put in a fixed tangible form. It also does not cover ideas, but covers expressions of the idea. Copyright cannot cover themes, slogans, laws, government documents, legislative reports ad judicial opinions. Logos and trademarks ae not protected by copyright but are protected by federal trademark or services mark through the patent and trademark office. Four factors determine whether copyrighted work is allowed under fair use. These are; the purpose and character of the owners use, nature of the copyrighted work, the amount and substantiality of the portion taken and the effect of the use upon the potential market. The first sale doctrine plays an important role in the copyright and trademark law by limiting rights of a copyright or trademark owner. Attribution in copyright law refers to acknowledgement as credit to the works of the original creator as it appears in another work (Copyright Clearance Center, 2011).

Public domains are not restricted by copyrights and do not require fees or licenses. When in doubt, it is always advisable to seek permission of the copyright owner before using their works. Looking at www.fcc.gov/ website, a patent is a set of exclusive rights granted to an inventor in exchange for public disclosure of the invention, on the other hand, trademark is the registered logo of a company and copyrights are laws protecting original works (Copyright Clearance Center, 2011).

The main objective of creative commons is to expand the range of creative works available for others, and for them to share the legally accepted works (Lessig, 2001). The main benefits of creative commons is that they issue free licenses to the public that allow creators communicate which right they reserve and what they should benefit as creators. Creative commons can help creators opt out of copyright as it is free and it gives creators freedom to decide which right they deserve as creators (Lessig, 2001).
