That is not my understanding, based on having to sign various copyright
agreements, etc, over the years. Here 'literary work' means anything you
write down which isn't a copy of some previous 'work' of someone else's.

It

applies throughout the UK/EU regardless of the nationality of the person.


Also, copyright applies to all kinds of things as well as written works, for
example, photographs, recordings, paintings, music, drawings, clothing
(there's a copyright in the designs on knitted clothing.) I seem to recall
that tartans are copyright ...


Thanks for that - I read the precis of the Act (Dec 2003), which refers
to 'literary, musical, dramatic or artistic' works. Tartan is probably
artistic. Probably :-)
