> 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.
