Question: Which of the following things can be protected by copyright?
- Abstract ideas
- Photos
- Methods of operation
- Facts
Explanation
Copyright protects original creative expression that is fixed in a tangible medium. Fixed visual works can qualify when they contain original choices such as framing, lighting, composition, or timing. YouTube’s copyright guidance separates protectable creative works from unprotectable ideas, facts, and systems. This distinction is important because Content ID claims must be based on rights in protectable content.
Why the other options are incorrect
Abstract ideas are not protected because copyright applies to expression, not ideas themselves.
Methods of operation are not protected because they describe functional processes rather than creative expression.
Facts are not protected because copyright does not cover factual information itself.
