Diana and Piolo are famous personalities in showbusiness who kept their love affair secret. They use a special instant messaging service which allows them to see one another’s typing on their own screen as each letter key is pressed. When Greg, the controller of the service facility, found out their identities, he kept a copy of all the messages Diana and Piolo sent each other and published them. Is Greg liable for copyright infringement? Reason briefly.

The messages Diana and Piolo sent each other are considered by law as literary or artistic works. These works are protected by the sole fact of their creation, irrespective of their mode or form of expression, as well as of their content, quality, and purpose. Copyright for the messages belongs to Diana and Piolo and the publication made by Greg is infringement of said copyright.
