Commercial Law, 2011 Bar — Question 56

MULTIPLE CHOICE

upon what appeared to be a massive volcanic eruption in Jupiter while peering at the planet through his telescope. The following week, X, without notes, presented a lecture on his findings before the Association of Astronomers of the Philippines. To his dismay, he later read an article in a science journal written by Y, a professional astronomer, repeating exactly what X discovered without any attribution to him. Has Y infringed on X's copyright, if any? A) No, since X did not reduce his lecture in writing or other material form. B) Yes, since the lecture is considered X's original work. C) No, since no protection extends to any discovery, even if expressed, explained, illustrated, or embodied in a work. D) Yes, since Y's article failed to make any attribution to X.
