> ABSTRACT:
> During the 1990s, courts and legislatures worldwide extended
> copyright protection to software code as a form of literary
> work. At the time this was understandable given the perceived
> need for legal protection to promote innovation in a fledgling
> industry in the wake of the personal computer revolution.
> However, many criticized this approach as paradoxically
> contributing to both over-protection and under-protection in the
> computer software industry. The ensuing decade has shown these
> criticisms to have been well-founded, both due to concerns that
> were apparent at the time, and now to more recent developments
> in programming methodology and digital copyright law. This
> article suggests that there is today a pressing need to revisit
> the question of copyright protection for computer software with
> a view to abolishing such protection. Factors that contribute to
> this suggestion include: (a) important developments in
> programming methodology in recent years including
> object-oriented approaches to programming; (b) the advent of
> effective contractual and digital rights management ("DRM")
> measures to protect computer code; and, (c) the impact of the
> Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") on digital copyright
> law and practice. This article suggests that copyright
> protection for software code is no longer necessary in the 21st
> century and potentially chills innovation. It should therefore
> be discontinued. Other more appropriate legal and technological
> protections are now available for software code outside the
> copyright context.
