Overview: The Framers of the Constitution and the subsequent Congresses of the United States have stated that the theory of copyright protection is to provide some incentive through economic gain for a period of time to encourage authors and artists to expand the creative energy and labor needed to produce a literary work or work of art. In fact, many point to starving actors, musicians, artists, writers, and poets and ask: How much worse would it be without copyright protection. Thus this paper will give an overview of the copyright protection in context with the E-mail, news stories, music, software, Usenet messages, novels, screenplays, graphics, and other multi-media which are subject to copyright protection.
