Practice question

A gallery invokes Section 184.1(j) for a television-screen projection of a protected painting. Does that paragraph's physical public-display limitation itself necessarily cover the projection?
  1. Yes; every screen projection is expressly included without qualification.
  2. Yes; ownership of a frame transfers all copyright.
  3. No; because published artworks can never be physically displayed.
  4. Yes; the screen makes the work a government document.
  5. No; the paragraph excludes display by film, slide, television image, screen and the other specified device or process means.
