What is a Literary Work copyright?
"Copyright" literally means the right to copy. Copyright is a form of protection provided by International laws given to the authors of “original works of authorship,” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. This protection is "automatic", and available to both published and unpublished works.
According to the US library of Congress, Literary works include nondramatic textual works with or without illustrations. They may be published or nonpublished. Computer programs and databases also are considered literary works. Plays, dramas, and screenplays are not in the literary works category.
