Creative works such as paintings, sculptures, and photographs, as well as architectural and commercial designs, technical drawings, and maps, are some examples of works that are protected by copyright. Literary works include poems, novels, plays, newspaper articles, reference materials, databases, computer programmes, motion pictures, choreography, and musical compositions.
