A friend has a CD of one of your favorite artists and has offered to let you copy it.

Is it okay for you to copy the CD? Why or why not?

No; copyright laws protect this artist's rights, and I need to purchase the CD if I want it.
No; while copyright laws do not protect a CD, I still should not copy it.
Yes; I am only violating copyright laws if I pay my friend to copy the CD.
Yes; my friend bought the CD, so according to copyright laws, she can let as many people copy it as she wants.

I believe the answer would be, (C)., Yes; I am only violating copyright laws if I pay my friend to copy the CD.




Actually, the appropriate response is yes. Under general copyright law, conveying a duplicate of copyrighted materials (like a music CD) must be finished with the consent of the copyright holder (typically the craftsman or record name). In addition, the No Electronic Theft Act, a government law, expresses that it is an elected wrongdoing to duplicate, disseminate, or share duplicates of electronic copyrighted works, for example, a music CD. This can be genuine regardless of whether you duplicate and afterward give the CD away without a business reason or getting monetary benefit.






Hope that helps!!!!
