That can be copyrighted.

Obviously, music and movies, these are all copyrighted novels, works of art.

To protect your copyrights, you have the option of registering it.

It's not essential, but it gives you advantages, and we'll talk about those advantages.

Filing a registration does give you some advantages, some statutory advantages in the area of enforceability.

You can't sue anyone for copyright infringement unless you have registered.

In addition, statutory damages don't begin to accrue unless and until you've registered your copyright.

So think about it.

If it's a critical point of your technology, you might want to go to the trouble of registering your copyright.

What is copyrightable?

It doesn't take much to be copyrightable.

It has to be original and it has to be creative.

What isn't copyrightable is mere sweat of the brow.

Simply compiling a list of everyone who attended the Ohio State Fair on Tuesday is not copyrightable.

How you present that list might be.

The term of copyright, the duration of copyright is just amazingly long

and it's been lengthened by the Congress a couple of times over the years.

It lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years.

That is a long time.

It's more important perhaps in some artistic works.

Mickey and Minnie are very glad that the copyright statute has extended the term of copyright protection a couple of times.

They've been primary beneficiaries of that.

This is very hard to study and search in advance.

Probably it's going to come out of the blue.

Someone will accuse you of having infringed their copyright.

If it happens, look at your development process for the copyrighted material or the material that somebody alleges is copyrighted.

Now copyright infringement is not like patents.

Patents, you can infringe a patent if you knew nothing about it.

You only infringe a copyright if you actually copy the work.

So you put their design in front of you and you do your design from theirs and it looks the same.

That's probably infringement of their copyright.

But if you came up with a design on your own, that's not copyright infringement.

You didn't copy.

If in fact it turns out that you did copy their work, once again maybe you just removed the work.

Remember, copyright only covers the expression, not the underlying idea.

You may need to rewrite some code, you may need to rewrite some literature.

Even if it does turn out that you're using somebody else's copyright at work, we're not done yet.

There are defenses to copyright infringement, and one of the best known is fair use.

Fair use is a very amorphous defense to copyright infringement, but it can be broad in the right circumstances.

If you're making a minimal use of copyrighted work, it may very well be fair use.

If you're using it in parity, it may very well be fair use.

Complicated area, I just want you to understand that because somebody accuses you of copyright infringement, and even if it turns out that you've got their content in your work,

stop, take a breath, think about some of the defenses that are available, including especially fair use.

What you want to keep is drafts of works that you created.

Remember, the argument in a copyright infringement allegation is that you copied somebody else's work.

Well, if you've got drafts going back over a period of time showing

that you developed the materials yourself and showing perhaps what source materials you did work from,

this is going to be a very powerful defense against the allegation that you copied their work.

Remember, copying requires actual copying.

It isn't sufficient that something is similar.

So if you can show that you developed your work from a different path and didn't simply copy their work,

that's a defense to the allegation that you've infringed their copyright.

Now, an important point, open source code.

Code writers use it all the time.

It's a major asset is a major tool.

However, remember, open source code comes with its own licensing terms.

And the most troublesome of these can be

that the incorporation of open source code into a larger piece of code can render

that entire larger product subject to the open source code licensing terms, which means that anyone can copy it and use it.

That's probably not what you want.

So be very careful about incorporating open source code into your code.

And be aware that there are products out there

that will help people search code that's available on the market for open source code to determine whether

or not it is now subject to the open source code licensing terms.

So, it's wonderful to have opportunities, and you have an opportunity to protect the intellectual property that your company is creating.

為何用這段影片練習口語？

這段關於“版權”的影片是英語影子跟讀的優質素材。內容圍繞法律概念展開，語速適中且邏輯清晰，適合練習英語口語表達中的嚴謹性與流暢度。通過模仿專業演講者的用詞和語調，不僅能積累法律領域的實用詞彙，還能提升在正式場合下的口語組織能力。對於備考或職場需要的學習者，這樣的素材能幫助快速掌握複雜話題的表達技巧，是英語口語練習的高效選擇。

語境中的語法與表達

“Copyright is the right to stop others from copying...” 中，“the right to do sth”結構清晰表達“做某事的權利”，可用於說明權益類話題。
“It doesn't take much to be copyrightable.” 中的“it doesn't take much to...”是口語中常用的簡潔表達，意為“做某事並不難”，適用於解釋條件或要求。
“Copyright only covers the expression, not the underlying idea.” 裡的“only... not...”結構用於強調差異，可幫助學習者在口語中明確區分事物的核心與次要部分。

常見發音陷阱

影片中部分單詞的發音需特別注意：“infringement”（侵權）的重音在第二音節，容易被誤讀為第一音節；“amorphous”（模糊的）的發音較複雜，需注意“a-mor-phous”的音節劃分；“statutory”（法定的）中的“tory”部分應發清晰的“təri”音，避免吞音。練習時可通過shadow speech反覆模仿，確保發音準確。此外，演講者的連讀現象（如“stop others from”）也需關注，可藉助shadowing site的逐句跟讀功能強化訓練。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	have registered · you've registered · it's been lengthened
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	can be copyrighted · been lengthened · is copyrighted
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	everyone who attended · terms, which means

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
