Can a Blog Be Copyrighted?

Copyright law protects original works of authorship, such as poems, novels, and songs. However, the law does not protect ideas or concepts.

Thus, a blog can be copyrighted if the blog owner has written original works of authorship that are protected by copyright.

A blog is an online diary or journal. As such, a blog can be a source of original works of authorship if the blog owner has written articles, posts, or comments that are protected by copyright.

For example, if a blogger writes an article about fashion design and then includes a picture of her own clothing design in the article, her clothing design would be protected by copyright.

If you are the author of a copyrighted work and you post your work on a blog, you may need to take precautions to ensure that your work is not copied without your permission. For example, you may want to ask the blog owner to include a copyright notice in the post or to link to your website where you can more easily find information about copyright protection and licensing.
