First, it is important to understand that you cannot ?copyright? an idea; you can only copyright what you have written. That is, you might have just written the greatest self-help manual on how to breed guppies. And you did, indeed, file for your copyright with the Library of Congress. Three weeks after completing the formal copyrighting process, you find out that the manager of your neighborhood pet store (where you?ve been buying your guppies) has just sold the TV rights to a new hit show ?Breeding Guppies? and he is using many of the same principles that you?ve outlined in your manual on how to go about guppy breeding.
