The concept that an idea cannot be copyrighted, but that the expression of an idea can be, is key to understanding copyright protection.

Documents, records and works resulting from an idea are copyrighted but not the idea itself. Thus, it is true that the expression is the one being copyrighted.

What's hard about this?
You have this universal concept of "love", for example. Who in their right mind would expect anyone to be able to copyright that? On the other hand, if I string a dozen words together in a way no one has before to describe some aspect of love.... that's mine.
