Ask HN: Do I own the copyright on my logon/password

2 点作者 Berniek超过 3 年前
Since I created the actual name of a logon and the password to go with it do I own their copyright? Do I own the copyright on my email address since I created (or selected) part of it? If so can Google (for instance) use it to create a token or other identifying or anonymizing artifact for their own purposes without my permission?

No. A work must meet the criterion of &quot;originality&quot; to be copyrightable:<p>&quot;Creative work must meet a basic level of originality to be considered the product of an author. Direct copies of someone else’s work can’t be copyrighted, and neither can facts, <i>short phrases</i>, titles, etc. For example, the names and addresses in a phonebook can’t be copyrighted but the photo on its front cover most certainly can.&quot;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.newmediarights.org&#x2F;business_models&#x2F;artist&#x2F;ii_what_can_and_can%E2%80%99t_be_copyrighted" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.newmediarights.org&#x2F;business_models&#x2F;artist&#x2F;ii_wha...</a><p>Also, even if you <i>could</i> copyright your password, copyright protects against unauthorized distribution. If Google is merely storing your password, it&#x27;s not distributing it.<p>(A single word or phrase, e.g., &quot;Google&quot;, can be trademarked, but that specifically involves its use in commerce to identify a brand. But it can&#x27;t be copyrighted.)
