Ugh. I chose C which I feel stupid for after the explanation. In my head, I thought we could safely assume that copyright laws can affect a work's ability to be published -- hence ruining its original intent to circulate ideas. If you can't get something published because your work was copyrighted, how is your work going to be circulated? That was my logic.

I'm really not understanding the point of this lesson. It feels extremely overcomplicated and is taking away my understanding of these questions more than it adds.
