Copyright Laws and real world:
As with all fields of intellectual property copyright is concerned with protecting work of the human intellect. The domain of copyright is the protection of literary and artistic works. These include writings, music, films, broadcasting, works of the fine arts, such as paintings and sculptures and technology based works such as computer programs and electronic databases.
There is no requirement that the literary and the artistic work should be good or have artistic merits. The only requirement is that the work is original. Copyright protects literary and artistic works, as the title of the Berne convention states. The two concept need to be taken in a very broad sense. The term literary, for example, does not mean just novels, poems, or short stories it could cover the maintenance manual of a car or even things that are written but not supposed to be understood by the average human being such as computer programs
