ITPEC IP October 2022 Question 74
ITPEC IP October 2022 — Question 74 of 100
Reusing downloaded HTML source to create another web page copies a protected expression and can violate copyright. Source code is a concrete creative work; downloading it for viewing does not grant permission to reproduce or adapt it into a new page.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- copyright protects expression, not a general idea discussed on a bulletin board
- the creator can normally reuse a program personally created during school days, absent a transfer of rights
- independently implementing an algorithm shown by a flowchart does not necessarily copy the book's protected expression
Key rule: Copyright protects the particular expression or code, while ideas and algorithms themselves are generally not protected as expressions.
