What are some ways to protect intellectual property? Write down what you can remember in a notebook.
You can protect intellectual property by taking actions to prevent intellectal property rights violations. THis includes using watermarks, defining terms of use through license agreements, and regularly monitoring for unauthorized use.

B. Adding watermarks and using digital rights maangeement tools is the best way to help a content creator prevent intelelctual property rights violations when sharing digital content

Define an MIT License and describe what one for your own Repo would look like
The MIT license is an open-source softwarre that allows users to copt, use, mmodify, merge, publish, distribute, and sell copies of the softeware. An MIT license for my own repo would allow users to copy, paste, distribute, and sell copies of my blogs, but not allow them to modify and merge them.
Homework Hack: Designing a License for Personal Repo
Task 1: Selected License: MIT License
Task 2: Explanation
I chose the MIT License for my personal AP CSP GitHub repository because it’s simple, permissive, and widely used. This license allows others to freely use, copy, modify, and share my content as long as they credit me, which supports collaboration and learning. Since the repository contains my blogs, class notes, assignments, and personal projects, I want others—especially fellow students—to benefit from and build upon my work without worrying about strict licensing rules. The MIT License ensures openness while still protecting my original authorship.

EC HW Hack: Lisence for PilotCity Project
Our Pilot City project features an engaging and educational game designed to deepen users’ understanding of DNA structure through interactive play. The core of the game revolves around correctly pairing nucleotide bases (A with T, C with G) in an intuitive, hands-on interface. As users interact with the animated DNA strand, they visually experience the process of DNA “unzipping,” mimicking how it naturally separates during replication.
To reinforce learning and keep users motivated, the game introduces a dynamic life system: players lose lives for incorrect base pairings, but can earn them back by answering fun, DNA-themed trivia questions. These questions not only serve as a second-chance mechanism but also reinforce scientific concepts in a memorable, gamified format.
Key features include:
Interactive DNA strand visuals that show real-time unzipping and re-zipping based on user input.
Immediate feedback on correct and incorrect pairings to support active learning.
Trivia-based revival system to re-engage users with key DNA facts.
A fun-first design that ensures users enjoy the process while gaining a strong conceptual understanding of base pairing and DNA structure.
