[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

An idea is not protected by copyright until it is put into a tangible form, such as writing or recording. Simply thinking of an idea does not grant copyright protection. Once the idea is recorded or written down, it is considered protected by copyright. Selling the first copy does not impact the copyright protection of the idea.
