Chapter 4: Protected Works and Boundary Problems
This chapter considers copyrightability from a different perpective, by
examining the increasing breadth of subject matter to which copyright protection
applies, and by exploring the different tests that courts have developed to assess
the presence of original expression in different kinds of works. The topics covered
in this chapter also raise questions about the proper scope of the copyright system.
