Question

what are examples of people who own the copyrights of their property? check all that apply.
□ caden buys a pair of jeans from a department store.
□ alexis thinks of an idea for a new product.
□ mia borrows a lawn mower from a friend.
□ nevaeh thinks of a name for her new company.
□ josiah writes a poem.
□ sophia creates a sculpture.
□ malachi owns a motorcycle.
□ dakota buys a loaf of bread.

Explanation:

• Caden buying jeans: Owns the physical jeans but not copyright (copyright is for creative works, jeans are a product).
• Alexis' idea: Ideas alone aren't copyrighted; copyright is for fixed, tangible creative works.
• Mia borrowing a lawn mower: Doesn't own the mower's copyright (or the mower, just borrowing).
• Nevaeh's company name: A name might be a trademark, not copyright (copyright is for creative works like writing, art).
• Josiah writing a poem: Poems are literary works, so Josiah owns the copyright of his poem.
• Sophia creating a sculpture: Sculptures are artistic works, so Sophia owns the copyright of her sculpture.
• Malachi owning a motorcycle: Owns the motorcycle (physical property), not copyright (motorcycle is a manufactured product, not a creative work).
• Dakota buying bread: Owns the bread (physical property), not copyright (bread is a food product, not a creative work).

Answer:

Josiah writes a poem.
Sophia creates a sculpture.
