, LML4801 Assignment 1 (COMPLETE ANSWERS)
Semester 1 2025 - DUE 3 April 2025; 100% correct
solutions and explanations.
Scenario M is a tech-savvy fourth year law student at a
residential South African university. She created a computer
program (Artificial Intelligence (AI)) called CheatSheet
ostensibly to help students with their assignments, which she
charges a once-off subscription fee to use. CheatSheet is trained
on the following documents, without M having obtained any
permission for such use: electronic licensed copies of textbooks
that M accessed through the university library's website;
published versions of court judgments from a law publisher's
database, including the editors' summaries at the beginning of
each case; study notes begged, borrowed, and bought from
classmates; and lecturers' notes uploaded onto their
universities' module sites. M is confident that, because
CheatSheet is for educational use, she cannot be liable for
copyright infringement. She also acknowledges all the authors
of material that CheatSheet is trained on as her "Database co-
authors". Further, M has become aware that Z had copied
CheatSheet and is making it available free of charge, which
interferes with the income M is getting from CheatSheet. 1. Can
M prevent Z's actions in relation to CheatSheet?
Can M Prevent Z’s Actions in Relation to CheatSheet?
