Question

Without permission, Sally copies photographs from Isaiah's book, Mount Everest: Top of the World, and uses them in a new book. Sally's book is about photography, not mountains. Sally's use of the photos is:a. an infringement of Isaiah's copyright.
b. protected under the fair use doctrine.
c. an infringement of Isaiah's copyright only if consumers are confused.
d. protected if Sally and Isaiah are competitors

Answer 1

Sally's use of the photos is "an infringement of Isaiah's copyright only if consumers are confused".

Option: C

Explanation:

If consumers are reading or going through Sally's book which is about photography, in such cases someone's copyrighted material is never welcomed, still Sally xeroxed the pictures from Isaiah's book. This shows her book is not plagiarism free, but it can be accounted when readers raise some doubts and go for further cross checking.
