What Works Are Protected?
Copyright protects “original works of authorship” that are fixed in a tangible form of expression. The fixation need not be directly perceptible so long as it may be communicated with the aid of a machine or device. Copyrightable works include the following categories:
1. literary works;
2. musical works, including any accompanying words
3. dramatic works, including any accompanying music
4. pantomimes and choreographic works
5.
pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works
6. motion pictures and other audiovisual works
7. sound recordings
8. architectural works
It is an exceptable form to use Graphic software which can be used to create, edit, and manage 2D computer graphics. These computer graphics may be clip art, Web graphics, logos, headings, backgrounds, digital photos, or other kinds of digital images.
In this example the breeder had her kennel name and the dogs name on the picture before it was removed and posted on a website.
How many times have we seen people on YT complain about this. A breeder’s name is very important and should never be removed or pictures used without permission. Just because you own the dog does not give you the right to break laws.
