What form of expression is not subject to copyright?

Question: What form of expression is not subject to copyright?

  • Channel trailer
  • Comedy improv video
  • Animated TV show
  • Video title

Explanation

Copyright protects original creative expression, not short identifiers used to name or label content. A video title is generally too short to qualify as protected expression on its own. YouTube’s copyright guidance distinguishes protectable works from names, titles, slogans, and short phrases. This means a title may identify a video, but it is not treated as copyrighted content in Content ID ownership workflows.

Why the other options are incorrect

Channel trailer can contain original audiovisual expression protected by copyright.

Comedy improv video can contain original recorded performance protected by copyright.

Animated TV show can contain original audiovisual and visual expression protected by copyright.
