Answer to Question 1

Copyright law does not protect the following works:
 Works that have not been fixed in a tangible form of expression.
 Titles, names, short phrases, and slogans; familiar symbols or designs; mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, or coloring; mere listings of ingredients or contents
 Ideas, procedures, methods, systems, processes, concepts, principles, discoveries, or devices, as distinguished from a description, explanation, or illustration
 Works consisting entirely of information that is common property and containing no original authorship (for example: standard calendars, height and weight charts, tape measures and rulers, and lists or tables taken from public documents or other common sources)
One example states in the text of a website that has not content not protected by copyright law is a website for online fantasy baseball with Major League Baseball (MLB) statistics. MLB baseball statistics are not protected by copyright as stated by the court in C.B.C. Distribution & Marketing, Inc. v. Major League Baseball Advanced Media, L.P., 505 F.3d 818 (8th Cir. 2007). A website that contains weather data is another example of content that is not protected by copyright law.
