Can that sort of sound really be copyrighted? "It's actually a bit of a grey area," said Dr Kylie Pappalardo, a lecturer in intellectual property law at QUT. "Copyright protects expressions that are recorded in material form, but the expressions have to be original. "What the law means by original is that it has to originate from somebody. "There's a chance that [white noise is] not actually original enough to be copyrighted, and if it is original enough, then the protection would be quite a low-level protection."
