@bibby

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its looks like b)

OpenStudy (bibby):

one time i had an idea for undies that clean themselves up so i wouldnt have to shower but someone created the undies and i cant sue him does that help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is b because you cannot copyright something that was bought from someone else

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uh? what!

OpenStudy (bibby):

I'm pretty sure it's D because it's the only nontangible thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is either a or d because the definition said it included both ideas and written words

OpenStudy (bibby):

but it isn't an IP until it's put down to paper

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok, so would it be a then? since it has been written down?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh never mind I thought the question was asking which qualified as your intellectual property. In this case the correct answer is D because it is the only one that is not put down to paper as bibby just said

OpenStudy (bibby):

as I said, I have no idea what I'm talking about but I'm pretty sure it's D intuitively

OpenStudy (bibby):

programs are IP too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah because they are things that actually exist outside of you head

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as long as it is viewable by other people then it is IP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, ill go with d. I thought it was d as first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank You :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bit ambiguous there... an idea you came up could be written down too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait what! the answer was b! I didn't expect that. Oh well :/

OpenStudy (bibby):

how is a CD not IP?

OpenStudy (bibby):

if someone buys an album and lets me borrow it, it's still someone's intellectual property
