The idea/expression dichotomy theory is used to recognise copyright subsistence in the work in some cases. For example, in the United-Kingdom, the requirement of fixation involves that idea that is not reduced into writing or into some tangible form is not copyrightable.

Michael Gibbons, October 6, 2015, Issue 6 Facts: The issue at hand is to determine if sharing music files through the internet violates copyright laws.

Question five asks what I think of Monsanto’s “seed police” and if the seeds should be protected. The question goes on to ask if the seeds should be affordable to even the poorest farmers. I will answer these questions from three different perspectives. The three perspectives are as a business professional, as a stakeholder, and as a member of the community at large. As a business professional, I think companies have a general right to their intellectual property. Organizations put a great…
