Have a look at
http://www.patent.gov.uk/dpolicy/index.html
"Copyright
Copyright provides automatic rights (ie. there is no official registration
system - there are no forms to fill in or fees to pay) to the creators of
the following kinds of material:
(a) original literary works, e.g. novels, instruction manuals, computer
programs, lyrics for songs, articles in newspapers, some types of databases,
but not names or titles (see Trade Marks pages);
(b) original dramatic works, including works of dance or mime;
(c) original musical works;
(d) original artistic works, e.g. paintings, engravings, photographs,
sculptures, collages, works of architecture, technical drawings, diagrams,
maps, logos;
(e) published editions of works, i.e. the typographical arrangement of a
publication;
(f) sound recordings, which may be recordings on any medium, e.g. tape or
compact disc, and may be recordings of other copyright works, e.g. musical
or literary;
(g) films, including videos; and
(h) broadcasts and cable programmes."
This is in the Patent Offices section on Copyright. I notice at the bottom
there is a link to "Copyright and Related Rights Legislation" if you want a
more specific citation.
