Thank You for Clearing That Up

I am doing some research on Internet Mobility and happen to end up on the following page:

U.S. Copyright Office - What Does Copyright Protect? (FAQ)

Excerpt from that FAQ:

How do I protect my sighting of Elvis?
Copyright law does not protect sightings. However, copyright law will protect your photo (or other depiction) of your sighting of Elvis. Just send it to us with a Form VA application and the filing fee. No one can lawfully use your photo of your sighting, although someone else may file his own photo of his sighting. Copyright law protects the original photograph, not the subject of the photograph.

Whew!!! Thank goodness they have a resource to answer that question. Actually, the bad thing about this is that you know that is actually a frequently asked question.
