Once something is copyrighted, the copyright lasts forever.
- A.
  
  True
- B.

Explanation
This statement is false. Copyright protection does not last forever. In most countries, including the United States, copyright protection typically lasts for the life of the creator plus an additional period of time, such as 70 years after their death. After this period, the work usually enters the public domain and can be used freely by anyone. Therefore, copyright does not last forever but has a limited duration.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Copyrighted materials cannot be used for educational purposes with no limits or restrictions. The use of copyrighted materials in educational settings is subject to certain limitations and restrictions, such as the fair use doctrine. This doctrine allows for the limited use of copyrighted materials for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research. However, the extent of such use must be reasonable and should not infringe upon the rights of the copyright holder. Therefore, the statement that students and teachers can use copyrighted materials for educational purposes with no limits or restrictions is false.

Plagiarism is not a form of copyright infringement. Plagiarism refers to the act of using someone else's work or ideas without giving them proper credit, while copyright infringement refers to the unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of someone else's copyrighted work. While plagiarism can be a violation of ethical and academic standards, it may not always involve copyright infringement.

Only materials in fixed, tangible forms may be copyrighted.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Copyright law generally protects original works of authorship that are fixed in a tangible medium of expression. This means that the work must exist in a physical or digital form that can be perceived, reproduced, or communicated. Ideas or concepts alone cannot be copyrighted, as they need to be expressed in a tangible form like a book, painting, or computer file. Therefore, only materials in fixed, tangible forms can be protected by copyright law, making the statement "Only materials in fixed, tangible forms may be copyrighted" true.
