Unit 2·Part 1·Information and Communication Technology — Baccalaureate Year 1

3 lessonsTextbook pages pp. 12–23

Unit 2 turns the first unit's ethics into rules with names, periods and conditions. It covers what counts as personal information and who may be given it, the two families of intellectual property rights and how long each lasts, and the cases where a work may be used without asking at all. It is the unit that teaches a student to answer "is this allowed?" with a rule rather than an instinct.

• Decide whether an item is personal information, and state the rule on providing it to a third party.
• Distinguish the right to privacy, image rights and publicity rights, and apply each to a photograph.
• Name the four industrial property rights with their protection periods, and explain the Formality Principle.
• Explain why copyright needs no registration, and how long the author's economic rights last.
• Apply the exceptions, the five rules of quotation and the Creative Commons marks to a real use of a work.
