    The correct answer is Literary Works. Literary Works is a category of copyright law that covers books and periodicals, which are written works of literature.

    Public domain refers to work that is not protected by copyright and is available for anyone to use, modify, or distribute without permission or payment. It includes works whose copyright has expired, works that have been dedicated to the public domain by their creators, or works that are not eligible for copyright protection. This means that the work belongs to the public as a whole and can be freely used for various purposes.

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Students working on a classroom video project cannot use 100% of a News documentary in their project. The use of copyrighted material, such as a News documentary, without permission or proper licensing is a violation of copyright law. Students may be allowed to use a small portion of the documentary under fair use guidelines for educational purposes, but using the entire documentary would likely exceed the boundaries of fair use. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

     Under Fair Use it is permissible for a student to copy a picture from the Sea World website for use in a classroom multimedia project. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Under Fair Use, it is permissible for a student to copy a picture from the Sea World website for use in a classroom multimedia project. Fair Use allows for limited use of copyrighted material without obtaining permission from the copyright owner. In an educational setting, using a picture from a website for a classroom project would likely be considered a transformative and non-commercial use, which is generally allowed under Fair Use. However, it is important to note that the specific circumstances and context of the use should be considered to determine if it falls within the boundaries of Fair Use.

    • Public Plays

    • Parody

    Correct Answer
    A. Parody
    Explanation
    Parody is a form of protected speech that allows for the use of copyrighted material without permission. It is a type of artistic expression that uses humor and exaggeration to imitate or mock an original work. Parody is considered fair use under copyright law because it serves a transformative purpose, adding new meaning and commentary to the original work. It is a recognized exception to copyright infringement, allowing creators to use protected material for the purpose of criticism, commentary, or satire. Therefore, parody is a valid explanation for the given correct answer.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Downloading pictures and information on marine life from various commercial and non-commercial sites for educational purposes falls under fair use. Fair use allows for the limited use of copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder, as long as it is for purposes such as teaching, research, or criticism. In this case, the teacher is using the material to enhance the students' understanding of ocean ecosystems and for their multimedia projects, which qualifies as fair use.

    • Sound Recordings

    • Literary Works

    • Out of Works

    Correct Answer
    A. Sound Recordings
    Explanation
    Sound Recordings is the correct answer because copyright law covers various forms of creative works, including musical works, literary works, and sound recordings. Tapes, cassettes, and computer disks fall under the category of sound recordings, as they are mediums used to store and reproduce recorded sounds. Therefore, the copyright law that specifically applies to these types of media is the one that covers sound recordings.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer

    Placing a copyright notice on work is not required to make it copyrighted. In fact, copyright protection is automatically granted to original works as soon as they are created and fixed in a tangible form. While including a copyright notice can provide additional legal benefits and help deter infringement, it is not a prerequisite for copyright protection. Therefore, the statement is false.
