We are surrounded by artistic expression. It is in the music we listen to, the books we read and the paintings we hang on our walls.  Artistic expression can also be found in less obvious places such as computer software applications and architectural drawings.  All of these forms of expression are the result of an individual artist reducing his or her creativity and imagination into a tangible medium and each is entitled to copyright protection.  Our founding fathers considered copyright protection so important that the right is specifically guaranteed in the United States Constitution.
