Practice question
A person acquires a confidential register under RA 8792 powers, prints it on paper, then sells the printout for an unrelated purpose. He argues Section 32 reaches only digital forwarding. Which is correct?
- Changing the medium does not remove the statutory restriction on conveying or sharing the accessed material.
- Printing automatically extinguishes confidentiality.
- Only email disclosure can ever be covered.
- A paper copy necessarily becomes a public-domain work.
- The printing cost grants a right to sell every secret.
