Before you can take a quiz about copyright law, you must first understand the definition of a copyright. A copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States to the authors of “original works of authorship,” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works. This protection is available to both published and unpublished works. The Copyright Act generally gives the owner of copyright the exclusive right to do and to authorize others to do the following:
transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending
One additional thing to remember is that published and unpublished work is ordinarily protected by copyright from the moment of its creation until 70 years after the author’s death.
Now that you know a little more about copyrights and what they cover, here is a quiz that will shed some more light on the subject.
