Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Musical works are protected by the Copyright Act. Thus, as a creator of the song, Rick has the benefit of copyright protection. Moreover, Rick has provided public notice of his copyright by indicating the copyright symbol, the date, and his name on the music. If he has registered the copyright with the Library of Congress, Rick's recourse is to bring an action for copyright infringement against the band for using the music without permission.
