For question 17, I chose A, but I was thrown off by the part of the passage that says "unless the poet already owns the ideas expressed in the work". I asked myself the question, "Does the inventor already own the innovative idea?".
What do you think? Maybe I'm just overthinking it haha.

That section of the passage absolutely applies; it is the author's central criticism of tangible-object theory. Under that theory, the poet doesn't own the copyright, which is bad and dumb. Same thing as (A) here; the inventor, just like the poet, doesn't own the IP.
