ITPEC IP October 2020 — Question 74 of 100
Reusing downloaded HTML source to create another web page without permission copies protected expression and can violate copyright. Internet publication does not by itself grant permission to reproduce or create derivative works from the page's authored code.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- copyright protects expression, not the underlying idea discussed on a bulletin board
- the creator may reuse a program personally written during school days unless rights were transferred
- implementing the functional idea represented by a flowchart is generally distinct from copying the book's protected expression
Key rule: Copyright protects the particular expression of software and content, not abstract ideas, algorithms, or functions.
