Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

When considering what legal protection is afforded to an expression of an idea like a song, book, or video game, we need to match the concept to its established legal terms.
Option 1: 'Copyright' refers specifically to the legal protection granted to original works of authorship, including literary, musical, and artistic creations, and it covers the expression of ideas, not the ideas themselves. This aligns with the example given (song, book, video game).
Option 2: 'Confidentiality' involves keeping information secret and is typically enforced through non-disclosure agreements; it does not provide broad protection for creative expressions once disclosed, so it is not the correct general term for this protection.
Option 3: 'Pirated software' describes unauthorized copying of software and is illegal activity, not a form of legal protection for expressions or works. It actually refers to infringement rather than a protection mechanism.
Option 4: 'Intellectual property' is a umbrella term for various protections (patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets). While it is related, the question asks for the specific protection afforded to expressed works, which is most precisely described by 'copyright' rather than the broader category.
Thus, through the lens of protecting creative expressions, copyright is the accurate and direct answer, while the other options mischaracterize the scope or nature of the protection.
