01

Open with the tension inside this evidence: Permission to post does not itself settle adaptation, reproduction, distribution, performance, or display rights.

02

Let the reader inspect 17 U.S.C. § 106 — Exclusive rights in copyrighted works; translate what it shows, who produced it and what it cannot prove.

03

End with one action for A1, A2, P01: save, compare, question or apply the source.

Educational payoff

By the end, the reader should understand how 17 U.S.C. § 106 — Exclusive rights in copyrighted works can inform a decision—and where its legal_text evidence stops. It lets readers distinguish the governing source from the editorial interpretation.

Interest device

Open with a concrete creator dilemma, reveal the source, then invite the reader to test the idea against their own work. The reveal is 17 U.S.C. § 106 — Exclusive rights in copyrighted works, not a generic stock illustration.

Copyright law gives owners a bundle of distinct rights—not one vague right to “the content.”

Use it with A1, A2, P01, P02, P04, P05; preserve the source date, definitions, and limits rather than turning it into a broader claim.
