Once an article has been
written, a picture drawn,
music written, etc. the
material is protected.
No publication or

action in the Copyright
Office is required to
secure copyright.

are not exempt from

A work that was
created on or after
January 1, 1978, is
automatically
protected from the
moment of its creation
and is ordinarily given
a term enduring for the
author’s life plus an
additional 70 years
after the author’s
death.
