Amboy is an offspring of the Illinois Central Railroad. The town was laid out in 1854. The first residences were those of L. W. Borden, B. S. Reynolds and Dr. David Bainter, erected that year. In 1855 the extensive shops of the company were built.
What does copyright protect? Copyright, a form of intellectual property law, protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, Web sites, and architecture.
As soon as a work is published, it is protected. A copyright protects an original artistic or literary work. Any work created after January 1, 1978, is automatically protected from the moment of its creation and is ordinarily given a term enduring for the authorâs life plus an additional 70 years after the authorâs death.
