Does copyright law protect web page content?
Whether your business focuses on local clientele or has an international reach, chances are you have a company website that provides information on your products and services. Your site may also contain unique content, such as blog posts, whitepapers or news articles. Protecting the rights to your digital content may seem more difficult than invoking copyright protection for traditional printed materials. However, United States law makes it clear that copyright protections apply to web page content as well as printed media.
