    Covered under copyright != how easy it would be to claim damages.

    Ok so this is the point I’m trying to understand. If there is no recourse for someone to claim damages, in this case as internet comments because otherwise everyone would be claiming damages any time someone ever copied the text of their original comment, then what would even be the point of listing it as something that “cannot be copyrighted”? It’s like saying, well, the text on this post -it note is copyrighted because “text on post-it notes” isn’t listed specifically as works that cannot be copyrighted.

      You can claim copyright. And just like every claim you’ll need to take out to court and litigate… that costs money. If i were to take your content and simply claim it as my own you could do it. Would it net you anything? No… but you could do it.

      A work made on a post-it note can 100% be copyrightten.

      Once again, all content can be copyrighted. Depending on the complexity of the work you’ll have a hard time defending the copyright, but if you can prove it was taken from you then you will get your win in court because have copyright.
