Copyright has never been a simple topic. The automatic presumption is that it protects our ideas. It does not.
Rather, it is the tangible outcomes of those ideas that are protected – their “material form”. For example, an idea for a new product, computer game or TV serial is not protected by copyright, however, the written code for that game or a design brief are.
