Yes, exactly. I am not sure that's what copyright was intended for, but I don't make the rules.

I have some vague recollection it was an issue for a while with Emily Dickinson since her work was scrawled on scraps of paper--I believe deciphering and ordering was considered enough intellectual effort to support a copyright. I may be misremembering, though.

Usually, though, that's not an issue.
