Question: What form of expression is subject to copyright?
- Short phrase
- Names
- Titles
- Literary work
Explanation
Copyright protects original works that are fixed in a tangible medium. A literary work contains original creative expression, so it can qualify for copyright protection. YouTube’s copyright guidance distinguishes protected creative works from short identifiers such as names, titles, and brief phrases. This distinction is important for Content ID because ownership claims must be based on protectable content.
Why the other options are incorrect
Short phrase is not protected because very brief text usually lacks enough original expression.
Names are identifiers and are not treated as copyrightable creative works.
Titles label a work but are not protected by copyright on their own.
