2. Explain the main functions of a rootkit.
* A piece of software that allows unauthorized user to override security and get administrator access to a computer, it gets its name from the fact that the main administrator account on many computer systems is called the “root” account. A rootkit is a stealthy type of software, often malicious, designed to hide the existence of certain processes or programs from normal methods of detection and enable continued privileged access to a computer.
4. List and briefly explain the four main rights granted to the author by copyright.
* The right to reproduce the copyrighted work
When a person purchases a book at a bookstore, they have received a property right in a copy of a copyrighted work (namely, the book). The book owner may then resell the book, or even destroy it, since they own the book. However, the book's owner did not receive any copyright rights when they purchased the book. All copyright rights are held by the book's author until the author specifically transfers them. Consequently, the book owner may not make any copies of the book, since the right to copy a work is one of the exclusive rights granted under the Copyright Act. This distinction allows a copyright owner to sell copies of a work, or even the original work itself (such as a sculpture), without forfeiting her rights under the Copyright Act.
* The right to prepare derivative works based upon the copyrighted work.
Since many films are based on novels or scripts they are in cases where the film's copyright has lapsed but the underlying work is still covered, the film cannot be freely distributed without the permission of the original author on whose work the film was based. Example, the 1912 George Bernard Shaw play Pygmalion
