  Sometimes it feels like what falls and doesn't fall under copyright is
very, very arbitrary.

  For example, if someone plays a tune of 10 notes, that is rather obviously
copyrighted. However, if someone plays a chess game of 50 moves or a go game
of 400 moves, that's *not* copyrighted (anyone can publish the game as they
want). If someone designs a sudoku problem, that *is* copyrighted (as far
as I know). If someone designs a food recipe, that is *not* copyrighted
(well, the text and its formatting is, but not the contents of the recipe).

  With such arbitrary rules, you really need to be a lawyer specialized on
copyright law to be always sure.
