Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is letter A. Yes, he will win.

Explanation:

a. Yes, because Kraft's story was copyrighted automatically when he wrote it, and Kraft is selling the copyrighted material without Kraft's permission.

Because, according to the copyright protection, it protects the autor's tangible idea, and automatically when he puts it into a tangible form. So, when Kraft wrote his story, it was protected immediately.
