Oman has adopted a copyright law which will provide for a period of protection up to fifty years after the death of the author for a wide variety of "original works of art in literature, science, arts and culture in general". A shorter period of protection expiring twenty-five years after publication is provided for movies, applied art works, photographs, works published under a pseudonym or after the death of the author and works of art "belonging to public or private bodies". Protection is specifically stated to be provided for, inter alia, computer programs, works delivered orally and works of choreography. The law provides for a substantial number of situations in which use of a copyrighted work, for example, in education and by the news media will not be regarded as infringements.
