1. True or False: Al original content (plays, movies stories . etc.) must have the copyright symbol to be protected under copyright law.

False. While the copyright symbol (©) is often used to indicate that a work is protected by copyright, it is not a requirement for copyright protection to apply. Copyright protection automatically applies to original works of authorship as soon as they are created and fixed in a tangible form, regardless of whether the copyright symbol is used. The symbol is simply a formal indication that the work is protected by copyright law.
