Part three Translating in Reading Comprehension

31)A copyright is a governmental grant, an acknowledgment that original writings are owned by the author. A copyright is the legal recognition of the special “property” of an author’s work.

Copyright protection is available for almost all writings-books, short stories, magazine articles, newspaper columns, poetry, plays, screenplays, and songs. Both fictional and non-fictional works are covered, and copyright protection is even available for such writings as an index, a master’s thesis, a map, even an original directory, such as the phone book, or a name and address guide to vegetarian restaurants.

32)A copyright protects the specific way that you develop, detail and express your idea in writing. That is, if you have an idea for an article about nuclear-powered musical instruments of the future, you can’t obtain protection for your concept. Anyone can use your ideas, and copyright and publish his or her own article about nuclear-powered musical instruments of the future.

However, if somebody else wants to write an article dealing with the same subject or ideas of your copyright article, that second somebody had better not lift sentences or paragraphs from your article, and had better not even paraphrase your article, or parts of it, because that would be copyright infringement.

“ Words and short phrases” are not protected by copyright. A catchy slogan, a clever word-if you are using these in business as a brand name for a product, or as the name of your musical group or other business as a brand name for a product, or as the name of your musical group or other business, protection for the single word or short slogan may be available under the trademark laws, but not the copyright laws.

What else is not protected? Lists of ingredients are not, hence, the major part of most recipes. 33) Does this mean that you have no protection if you write a cooking article or cookbook? No, because your article or book as a whole presumably contain more text than a string of ingredients, affording you a basis for copyright protection.

The name principle applies to chemical formulae, and to math problem. Copyright law won’t allow these to be removed from the “public domain”, so an individual6 equation, such as E=mc, even if developed today the new copyright act, would not be protected under the copyright laws. However, your math book or chemistry text would contain far more a string of formulae or equations, and would, as a whole be protected.

Computer programs- software- is an area where copyright laws are up in the air. Right now, software is not adequately protected under the copyright laws. But this situation may soon change. However, depending on the circumstances, protection is sometimes available under the “ common law” of unfair competition and trade secrets.

The Copyright Office does not make an examination of the substance of your work, because

what you are keeping from the public domain is your way of expressing a concept, which concept anyone is entitled to use in his or her own word. 34) That is your “monopoly” does not work a serious hardship on the public, so your work does not have to pass a serious muster to earn its copyright protection. Obviously, if your work was primarily copied from a public domain work and you find yourself holding a certificate of copyright registration nonetheless, an “infringer” you seek to sue over the matter can raise a public domain defense, despite your registration.

Now, what about “fair use”? Fair use, as defined by Marybeth Peters, senior attorney/advisor to the Copyright Office, “allows copying without permission from or payment to , the copyright owner where the use is reasonable and not harmful to the rights of the copyright owner”. However , what is “reasonable” and “not harmful” is not necessary determined by your personal beliefs.

35) Fair use is one of the most nebulous, tricky areas viewed differently depending on who is taking the copyrighted material from where, and to what end.

Section B

“如果你只是开了家路边夫妻店或大排档，就不需要企业文化，只要夫妻不吵架，把菜炒熟即可。但如果你开的是大排档连锁店，有几十个营业点，上千名员工，就不能不思考企业文化了。”这是明基集团对企业文化最形象的描述。
