What are the requirements for a work to be copyrighted? Explain each requirement in full, including the federal statutes involved and any case law discussed in the text.

Based on that, would the following be copyrightable?

• The dance steps to the hit song “YMCA”
• The slogan for Nike, “Just do it.”
