Question

n most countries, copyrights, trademarks, and patents are viewed as intellectual property, and unauthorized use, reproduction, or distribution of intellectual property is illegal. In a few countries, however, copying enjoys a long tradition, does not carry a stigma, and is legal. For example, copying a masterpiece may be historically considered an art form in its own right

Answer 1

Answer:

The difference between the countries shows that societal culture and norms affect the perception of ethical behavior held in each.

Explanation:

• In some countries, intellectual property rights bear tremendous significance and are treated to be as important as any other fundamental rights.
• On the other hand, IPRs are not given due emphasis as intellectual properties are not deemed as important a holding as other physical material properties.
• This difference is apparently due to the culture that is prevalent within the domestic boundaries of the country.
