1. True or False: Copyrights give absolute, total ownership of creative works.

2. True or False: It is NEVER ok to download a copyrighted work under any circumstances.

3. True or False: A copyright holder, without exception, has the absolute, final say over how their works are used.

4. True or False: File sharing is destroying the entertainment industry, ruining the economy and if it’s not stopped, will plunge the entire world into chaos!

Answers: 1. True; 2. True; 3. True; 4. True

Notes: If you answered “False” to any of the above questions, then you are a dirty pirate who deserves to go to prison for the rest of your life and be anally violated daily by a 300 pound convict named “Bubba”.

Given the differnent ‘views’ on what is actually legal I wonder if the responces will be correct (and what type of correct).

BTW seeing as these are universities, does the US have copyright relaxations for educational use ?

I see the list of questions/answers quickly distributed.
