Amboy is an offspring of the Illinois Central Railroad. The town was laid out in 1854. The first residences were those of L. W. Borden, B. S. Reynolds and Dr. David Bainter, erected that year. In 1855 the extensive shops of the company were built.
What does copyright protect? Copyright, a form of intellectual property law, protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, Web sites, and architecture.
No. Copyright shelters only fixed, original and creative expression, not the ideas or facts upon which the expression is based. For example, copyright may protect a particular song, novel or computer game about a romance in space, but it cannot protect the underlying idea of having a love affair among the stars.
