Answer 1

False

Alyssa is likely in violation of the Copyright Act if she used Amy's research paper without permission, even if the presentation itself is different. Copyright law protects the expression of ideas, including written works. If Alyssa did not create her own original content and instead used Amy's work, she may be infringing on Amy's copyright.
