According to a quick Google search (I’m no expert on copyright law), a sufficiently original email is automatically copyrighted. What constitutes “sufficiently original” seems to be pretty arbitrary.

So I guess if you post a short story, that’s automatically copyrighted. Commenting “this” is not. And then there’s a huge grey zone in the middle.

I think the same basically applies to… Anything. I mean a sufficiently original book is copyrighted but a sufficiently unoriginal book is not. Substitute book with any kind of media you want.

Makes you realize how finicky copyright is.
