Avery and Bolton Are Two Gifted Architecture Students at the University

Multiple Choice

Avery and Bolton are two gifted architecture students at the University of the Outaouais. Both have been involved in a competition to come up with a design for a particularly immense structure. In class one day, one of their professors exposes them to a formula which, when applied in a particular manner to the competition, leads to a new, never- before- thought- of design for particularly immense structures. Independently, both students develop virtually identical designs for the competition. Avery is so enthused by his new discovery that he registers his copyright in the design. Tanner, a slightly lazier student, was considering entering into the same competition. Snooping around Bolton's desk one day, Tanner saw Bolton's design for the super structure. Tanner copied the design, and sold it to an architecture firm. Which of the following is TRUE?

A) Tanner is infringing Avery's and Bolton's moral rights.
B) Tanner is not breaking any copyright laws.
C) Tanner is infringing Avery's and Bolton's copyright.
D) Tanner is infringing Bolton's copyright but not Avery's.
E) Tanner is infringing Avery's copyright but not Bolton's.
