Several categories of material are generally not eligible for federal copyright protection. These include among others:
Works that have not been fixed in a tangible form of expression (for example, choreographic works that have not been notated or recorded, or improvisational speeches or performances that have not been written or recorded)
Titles, names, short phrases, and slogans; familiar symbols or designs; mere variations of typographic ornamentation, lettering, or coloring; mere listings of ingredients or contents
Ideas, procedures, methods, systems, processes, concepts, principles, discoveries, or devices, as distinguished from a description, explanation, or illustration
======================
So If I use other's disclaimer,it is NOT against the law right?
Answers:
Not necessarily. A disclaimer is something that has been fixed in a tangible medium from which recovery is possible, and therefore it is presumably copyrightable and/or copyrighted.
There's nothing that simple about copyright law! You always risk being in the wrong. You need to check out the specific thing you are talking about.
