Practice question
An entity has a legal right to use a file for an authorized task but does not own the file. The file owner argues lack of ownership alone conclusively defeats Section 31 access. Which is best?
- Only ownership can ever support lawful access.
- Every use right automatically permits every unrelated exploitation.
- The file becomes public property once used.
- Ownership alone is not the statutory test; the established legal use right and authorized task must be considered.
- A lawful user automatically owns the identity key.
