When someone has viewed archived copyright protected data and sent it to someone else what has occurred?

If the data is copyright protected, the copyright holder has the right to control how the data is distributed. If the person who originally viewed the archived data went to a source that was authorized to share the data there is no problem. If the source was not not granted permission to share it, the person viewing it is probably not guilty of much (unless it can be shown that they did something illegal in order to access he source). Being granted permission to view the data does not grant the right to send it to someone else. That permission must be sought from the copyright holder. Think of it like buying and reading a book. If you buy the book, you have permission to read it. You can even give the book to someone else - but if you copy the book and send it to someone you have now violated the copyright.

An invention or idea cannot be protected by copyright, only by patent. The content of a description of an invention cannot be protected by patent, only by copyright. Printed matter recorded on a CD cannot be protected by patent, only by copyright. The way printed matter FUNCTIONS on a CD can be protected by patent but not copyright. The way the same material can be USED can be protected by copyright AND patent. You cannot patent or copyright something that was copied from someone else's work. So the answer would depend upon what aspect of CDs you're referring to.

How do you follow the copyright law if there is no watermark or copyright symbol on it?
Signatories to the Berne Convention (which includes the United States) cannot require formalities. Before Berne, works were only protected if they were published with a copyright symbol and registered with the Copyright Office; since Berne, works are automatically protected as soon as they are "fixed." If you wish to use materials created by someone else, even if they are not marked, you need their permission.
Are 1984-1986 military photos copyright?
It depends on the circumstances of who took them, when. Your official photo, for example, is not protected by copyright, because it is a work of the federal government. Other photos taken by military photographers, such as are found on DVIDS, are also not protected. Snapshots, on the other hand, taken by someone whose official duties do not include photography, would be protected.
