P.S. life hack instead of having to hit shift then i just put a L just lowercase can you tell the difference this is a i: I this is L: l

Actually, the correct answer is B) When you put it into a tangible form. Copyright law protects original works of authorship that are fixed in a tangible form. This means that once an idea is expressed in a concrete form like writing, drawing, or recording, it is considered to be protected by copyright. It's important to note that copyright protection does not require registration with any governmental authority; it is automatically granted to the creator once their work is in a tangible form. Selling the first copy doesn't determine when an idea is protected by copyright.
