A copyright law usually aims at the following features :
(i) Stimulate creative authorship
(ii) Public availability of intellectual works
(iii) Freedom of access to information
(iv) Profit making by publishers
Answer: A
The aims are (i) and (ii), so the answer is (i) and (ii) are correct.
Copyright gives creators exclusive rights for a limited time so that they are rewarded for their work. That reward is meant to stimulate creative authorship (i), and, because the work is protected, to encourage authors to publish and so make intellectual works publicly available (ii).
Freedom of access to information (iii) is the counterweight to copyright, served by exceptions such as fair dealing and by the public domain, not an aim of the law itself. Publishers' profit (iv) may follow from it but is not what copyright law sets out to achieve. Codes including (iii) or (iv) are wrong.
