Yes, question five seems to be the horror question from hell.
My interpretation of it is - was it the copyright details, the charges or the GST charges comprised the example of the convention?????? It seems to me that there are three examples listed.
May be I am the one on the wrong tram.

Subject: [Year 12 IPM] Multichoice Q5
I guess it's safe to talk now.
Has anyone else noticed something odd about multichoice Q5...
Question 5
Crazy Cartoons applies for and receives copyright for all cartoons
created by its artists. On their invoice to a client, Crazy Cartoons
lists the copyright details and charges and the GST charges related to
the copyright. This is an example of which type of convention?
A. preset
B. optional
C. preferred
D. mandatory
I mean - what the...?
If I understand copyright law in Australia, one does NOT apply for
copyright and have it granted (as one does for Trade Marks and patents).
Copyright is *automatically* held by the creator of intellectual property.
So what's this about a company applying for and receiving copyright??
Secondly, what on earth does the rest of it mean? I'm truly baffled.
Does Crazy Cartoons create cartoons and sell them to clients? If so,
what's the stuff about copyright details on the invoice for? What
'copyright details'?? And what are the 'GST charges related to the
copyright'???
OR does Crazy Cartoons earn its money by getting copyright for its
clients' cartoons? (Which is impossible anyway)
Is this question completely insane or am I missing something obvious?
