问题     Intellectual property rights are the rights given to persons over the creations of their minds. They usually give the creator an exclusive right over the use of his/her creation for a certain period of time. Intellectual property rights are customarily divided into two main areas.
    Copyright and rights related to copyright. The rights of authors literary and artistic works (such as books and other writings, musical compositions, paintings, sculpture, computer programs and films) are protected by copyright, for a minimum period of 50 years after the death of the author.
    Also protected through copyright and related (sometimes referred to as "neighboring" ) rights are the rights of performers (e. g. actors, singers, and musicians), producers of phonograms (sound recordings) and broadcasting organizations. The main social purpose of protection of copyright and related rights is to encourage and reward creative work.
    Industrial property can usefully divided into two main areas: one area can be characterized as the protection of distinctive signs, in particular trademarks ( which distinguish the goods or services of one undertaking from those of other undertakings) and geographical indications (which identify a good as originating in a place where a given characteristic of the good is essentially attributable to its geographical origin). The protection of such distinctive signs aims to stimulate and ensure fair competition and to protect consumers, by enabling diem to make informed choices between various goods and services. The protection may last indefinitely, provided the sign in question continues to be distinctive.
    Other types of industrial property are protected primarily to stimulate innovation, design and the creation of technology. In this category fall inventions (protected by patents), industrial designs and trade secrets.
    The social purpose is to provide protection for the results of investment in the development of new technology, thus giving the incentive and means to finance research and development activities. A functioning intellectual property regime should also facilitate the transfer of technology in the form of foreign direct investment, joint ventures and licensing.
    The protection is usually given for a finite term (typically 20 years in the case of patterns). While the basic social objectives of intellectual property protection are as outlined above, it should also be noted that the exclusive rights given are generally subject to a number of limitations and exceptions, aimed at fine-stunning the balance that has to be found between the legitimate interests of right holder and of users.
Copyrights and related rights protect______.
选项 A、the rights of a novelist only when he is alive
B、the rights of a novelist for no longer than 50 years after his death
C、the rights of a music performer for his creative work
D、the rights of radio program producers rather than those of radio stations
答案C
解析 细节题。根据第二段，版权保护文学艺术作品的作者的权利，此权利在作者去世后也可受保护至少50年。第三段讲，版权及其相关权利也保护音乐、音像制作人及广播组织者的权利，其目的主要是鼓励和奖励有创造性的作品。所以C选项是正确答案。
