- vlad 19y agoThanks for your question! Yes, almost everything that is created is copyrighted to the creator, automatically. The only items that have no copyrights are public domain items.

- vlad 19y agoThanks for your reply. Before and after the edit, the post was a question meant for scribd developers to answer, who posted the link themselves. I edited my post to make it more clear that I was asking a question, not playing lawyer.
