Literature/Dramatic Copyright

Under Section 13 of the Copyright Act 1957 copyright exists in original, literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works, cinematographic films and sound recordings. Section 2(o) of the act gives a comprehensive definition of 'literary works', mentioning that the term "includes computer programs, tables and compilations, including computer databases", but it does not set down which works are deemed to be literary. However, the explanation to Section 2 states that the term 'literary works' is not confined to works of literature in the commonly understood sense, but must be taken to include all works expressed in writing, no matter whether they have literary merit. Thus, the definition is not exhaustive and all literary works satisfying the criterion of originality are entitled to protection under the act.

The literature work encompasses works such as books, literature, technical drawings, computer programs, computer databases.
