Copyright law protects both unpublished and published original works, covering the authors of such works. It provides immediate protection from the moment a work is created until 70 years after the author's death. While copyrighted works cannot be reproduced without authorization, the first sale doctrine allows the owner of a copyrighted work to display, sell, or dispose of that work. Works in the public domain are no longer protected by copyright law. Fair use and the TEACH Act provide exceptions that allow limited use of copyrighted works for purposes like research, commentary, news reporting, and education.
