Washington State University: What copyright does not protect

This page does a wonderful job of explaining what cannot be protected, and thus gives a full complement to the principles of copyright.

Briefly:
* Materials Not Creative Enough
* Idea/Expression Dichotomy
* Expired Copyrights ("Public Domain")
* Works Copied as Fair Use


Each of these headings is given a concise explanation.
