What do you mean when you state: "The support in MSS questionsflows in the opposite direction, from the stimulus into the answer. Strengthen questions have support flow from the answer into the stimulus."
I felt that this entire answer was supported by the term "beyond". without that I dont think E would work. It is interesting bc I know that in the real world E is the right answer but I had a hard time find the evidence as such in the question stem (except for the word Beyond)
I'm a bit confused by what question types this section is dealing with? Just questions that are non-causal? What skill should I be practicing here? I've just been thinking about which AC would be most reasonable.
So a way that I approached this question that may help other people from getting baited by B is this: the stimulus tells us that the SOLE purpose of copyright is to only encourage authors from getting money right and we are in charge of showing something that goes beyond the scope, beyond the intention of what it was originally supposed to be. For example (and please spare biases and give some grace): Cars were originally intended to go from point A to point B faster. Some people use cars for different reasons now: to run people over, to use it as an income source, go from point A to point B or to simply collect as an enthusiast. So if we were charged showing how the car has gone farther than the original purpose it was created for, then the reasons I listed would be examples. Same way here on the question, what are ways that copyright has gone beyond its original purpose. The fact that they last after someone's death has little bearing on financial gain for the individual because well they're dead who cares about money when you're dead and it was not in the original purpose listed in the stimulus.
sometimes i come across questions that i faintly recall doing on practice tests at the start of my lsat journey, and remember how they felt sooo hard but now i can't believe i'm getting them right!! this is one of them. this is just to say keep up the grind, it's so hard and can feel unrewarding but i promise you'll start to see the growth!!! we got this :)
Just something I noticed with these questions: look at the language in the stimulus and see if it appears in any derived form in the answer that you suspect to be correct. For example, the context features "temporary" in the first sentence, and the correct answer talks about "after death." Why would a temporary monopoly on one's idea extend after death? If it did, then it would no longer be temporary.
I picked C because if an author can't find a publisher, by having work that is conserved through copyright, then their work, despite not being published, is at least noted somewhere and transcends them (goes beyond). I had to reach to get to this point and I see how with E I didn't need to reach as hard to arrive to the same conclusion.
It would be awesome if you provided another set of "previous" and "next" buttons at the top of the page for people who watch the videos only instead of reading. Otherwise we have to scroll through a lot of text everytime.
Fun fact: Happy Birthday To You (written in 1893 and first published in 1911) only just recently made its way into the public domain through a settlement with Warner Music.
I've been trying to write down why an answer is wrong and why an answer is right. For this one, I found it hard to explain why the wrong answers (except D) were wrong and why E was right. It's bad, but to me it just made sense and I went with it. That's not to say I'm as lucky with other questions though. I'm suffering 😭
But can't we conclude their family will still receive the money for the work even if they will die soon, which motivates them while they are alive to write?
i got this right but this one is BULLLLLLSHIIIIIIT

I read answer E was like well DUHHH... then proceeded to pick answer B
I hate this.

i love gaslighting myself into the wrong answer

The trend of getting every level 1 and 2 wrong and way over time, but getting every 3, 4, and 5 right and under-time is still holding strong.
"this is not a copyright problem, this is a 'you suck at writing problem'," -absolute gold.
E is the only answer where 'copywrites' is the subject
but what if someone close to death wanted to secure a financial reward to help their loved ones or to build generational wealth?

"im not even sure why B is here" meanwhile i bet my life savings on B

I tossed E because I believed in the Author's estate's rights or the rights of the Author's heirs for example.

I'm so mad I was going to chose E, but then convinced myself it was wrong wtf
Getting these answers wrong the first time, then redeeming myself during BR. dont know how to feel about that

I keep getting all these questions + weakening questions wrong. it sucks so bad 😭
