Question

Using another person's work, without permission or without paying for it, if it is being sold is known as .

• A. Cyber crime
• B. Fair use
• C. Copyright infringement
• D. Identity theft

Hint:

Using a creator's work without permission breaks the creator's right.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand the question.
Someone uses another person's work without permission or payment, and sells it. We must name this act.

Step 2: Recall the concept.
Copyright gives the creator the exclusive right to copy, share and sell the work. Using it without the owner's permission breaks that right. This breach is called infringement.

Step 3: Check option 1 (Cyber crime).
Cyber crime is a broad term for crimes done with computers, such as hacking and fraud. It is too general for this particular act. Option 1 is not the best answer.

Step 4: Check option 2 (Fair use).
Fair use is a limited, allowed use of a work, for example for study or review. Selling copied work without permission is not allowed use. Option 2 is wrong.

Step 5: Check option 3 (Copyright infringement).
This is exactly the act of using a creator's work without permission or payment, especially when it is sold. Option 3 is correct.

Step 6: Check option 4 (Identity theft).
Identity theft means stealing someone's personal details to pose as them. The question is about stealing a work, not an identity. Option 4 is wrong.

Final Answer:
Using another person's work without permission and selling it is copyright infringement. This is option 3. \[ \boxed{\text{Copyright infringement}} \]
