The Copyright Act protects a wide variety of works that are used with computers, tablets, smartphones, videogame platforms, and other electronic devices. It also protects works that are used or distributed on the internet, such as websites, blogs, and other online content. To register these types of digital content, determine the predominant authorship and submit as a literary work, work of the visual arts, or work of the performing arts.
