"science" and "useful arts"  surely does not include ANY movie made in the last 100 years.... Except for some science 
documentaries....  So, "How's it Made?" and "factory made" are all set.... But ANYthing else isn't...

  Funny thing though... as it would include Disney in the non-copywritable area....  BUT, the gov keeps pushing the 
ending date of the compywrite out whenever Disney's stuff gets that old....

  MPAA owes a LOT fo people a LOT of cash too...  as Justin Beeber can't possibly be science or a useful art....

It almost notably leaves out works of expression.

An odd case, but an interesting point ...

(If decided for the defendant, might this mean that Disney movies were
uncopyrightable, too?  Since when did they help "science" and "useful arts"?  :-)
