2. Lola takes a photo of the mountains near her home. She uploads the photo to the Internet with “Copyright 2011 Lola Dominguez” next to the image. About a week later, she checks one of her favorite blogs and sees that the blogger has posted her photo on the blog and has posted a creative writing story to go with it.
*If the blogger doesn’t ask Lola’s permission to use the photo but still giver her credit, the blogger can post Lola’s photo with his story. 

• a) True. Copyright is pretty relaxed, so even though Lola put “Copyright” on her photo the blogger can do what he wants.
• b) False. When you copyright something, the only way that others can use the work without your permission is if they change the original meaning of the work. Adding a story to the photo doesn’t change the original photo, so the blogger can’t use it.
• c) False. When you copyright something, others have to ask your permission before using it. 
• d) True. Even though Lola put “Copyright” on her photo, the blogger doesn’t have to ask permission because he posted his own original story to go with it.
