Most forms of property are concrete and tangible, such as houses, cars, furniture or anything else that

is included in one’s possessions Other forms of property can be intangible, and copyright deals with

intangible forms of property Copyright is a legal protection extended to authors of creative works, for

example, books, magazine articles, maps, films, plays, television shows, software, paintings, photographs, music, choreography in dance and all other forms of intellectual or artistic property

Although the purpose of artistic property is usually public use and enjoyment, copyright establishes the ownership of the creator When a person buys a copyrighted magazine, it belongs to this individual as

a tangible object However, the authors of the magazine articles own the research and the writing that went into creating the articles The right to make and sell or give away copies of books or articles belongs

to the authors, publishers, or other individuals or organizations that hold the copyright To copy an entire book or a part of it, permission must be received from the copyright owner, who will most likely expect to

be paid

Copyright law distinguishes between different types of intellectual property Music may be played by anyone after it is published However, if it is performed for profit, the performers need to pay a fee, called

a royalty A similar principle applies to performances of songs and plays On the other hand, names, ideas,

and book titles are excepted Ideas do not become copyrighted property until they are published in a book,

a painting or a musical work Almost all artistic work created before the 20th century is not copyrighted because it was created before the copyright law was passed

The two common ways of infringing upon the copyright are plagiarism and piracy Plagiarizing the

work of another person means passing it off as one’s own The word plagiarism is derived from the Latin plagiarus, which means “abductor” Piracy may be an act of one person, but, in many cases, it is a joint

effort of several people who reproduce copyrighted material and sell it for profit without paying royalties

to the creator Technological innovations have made piracy easy and anyone can duplicate a motion picture on videotape, a computer program, or a book Video cassette recorders can be used by practically anyone to copy movies and television programs, and copying software has become almost as easy as copying a book Large companies zealously monitor their copyrights for slogans, advertisements, and brand names, protected by a trademark

Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly

cherished goal Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on group

organization and attitudes

In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuse The group contains nearly

all of each individual’s life The rewards of the group’s work are shared with each member There is an interlocking identity of individual, group and task performed Means and goals become one, for cooperation itself is valued

While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of pre-literature societies, secondary cooperation is characteristic of many modern societies In secondary cooperation, individuals devote only part of their lives to the group Cooperation itself is not a value Most members of the group feel loyalty, but the welfare of the group is not the first consideration Members perform tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the form of salary, prestige, or power Business offices and professional athletic teams are examples of secondary cooperation

In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the shared work The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic: the organization is loose and

fragile Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals: it breaks down when the

common means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals This is not, strictly speaking, cooperation at

all, and hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation is sometimes used for this

relationship

C It is an ideal that can never be achieved D It was confined to prehistoric times

Question 58: According to the passage, why do people join groups that practice secondary cooperation?

A To experience the satisfaction of cooperation B To associate with people who have similar
