Annette, an energetic college junior, had been involved in the selling of goods for a number of years online. Annette supported herself in this way but yearned for greater success. She was particularly interested in selling women's dresses. She studied the clothing lines of famous designers Giorgio Armani and Bill Blass. Annette then contacted a clothing manufacturer who agreed to copy the styles under the names of Armani and Blass. Annette began to sell the copied clothing articles under the names "Gorgo Ormani" and "Bill Bless." The names, however, were not clearly printed on the labels but written in a handwritten scrawl making it difficult to discern the actual spelling. The matter has been brought to the attention of the FTC. Is Annette in violation of the law?
a. Yes, you cannot list and sell designer dresses online. b. No, Annette can sell any dress that she wants. c. Yes, deceptively passing one's goods off as designed by someone else is wrong. d. No, the consumer would know that the dress was not an original.

.c. Yes, deceptively passing one's goods off as designed by someone else is wrong

Explanation:This is like plagiarism or illegally coping of one's own music, anything that has to do with copying someone else work is illegal be wise you are taking someone else's work and jeopardizing its value when you make it a copy.

People will think these copies are original Gorgo Ormani and because it is likely that Annette will make them cheaper they will buy more of these fake items instead of buying the original hence she will also be negatively affecting the market for this brand.

You can't copy something that isn't yours because you don't have that right hence this is deceptive action and legally wrong.

sound is invisible, but sometimes we can feel it. when a kettle-drum is thumped with a stick that time the tight drum skin moving up and down very quickly for some time and then it pumped sound waves into the air. loudspeakers also work in a similar manner.

components of a speaker:

electromagnet

in order to translate an electrical signal into an audible sound, an electromagnet is used in looudspeakers

  suspension

suspension is used to   center the voice coil in the gap of the magnet and it exerts a restoring force to keep it there. suspension is used to limits the maximum mechanical excursion of the diaphragm and voice coil.

voice coil

voice coil is a coil of wire which is attached to the apex of a loudspeaker cone. it provides the motive force to the cone by the reaction of a magnetic field to the current passing through it.

cone

in a   loudspeaker, a   thin, semi-rigid membrane attached to the voice coil, which moves in a magnetic gap due to which it vibrates   and produced sound. it is known as diaphragm and it can also be called a cone, though not all speaker diaphragms are cone-shaped.

surround

surround is also known as front suspension. surround is used to join the cone to the chassis. together with the suspension it controls the cone excursion, and it is also used to   determine how energy which is   travelling through the cone is absorbed, and how the speaker limits when it reaches the ends of its travel.

dustcap

dustcap is used to protect the voice coil from dust and dirt. it is a part of the cone.

how speaker work

the outer part of the cone is fastened to the outer part of the loudspeaker's circular metal rim. the inner part is fixed to   voice coil that sits just in front of a permanent magnet . when loudspeaker is hooked up to a stereo, electrical signals feed through the speaker cables into the coil. it will convert the coil into an electromagnet magnet . when electricity flows back and forth in the cables, the electromagnet either repels or attract the permanent magnet. this moves the coil back and forth, and it pull and push the loudspeaker cone. like a drum skin vibrating back and forth, the moving cone pumps sounds out into the air.in this way loudspeakers works.

the answer is a.
