The software guys are in a panic for no good reason. While it can be said and is currently thought that copyright covers the code and with a limited copyright length that we get to peek and laugh or rip them off, especially if we get to shorten the copyright to say 10 years, there isn't a lot of software that was built 10 years ago still generating income.

The argument can be made that upgrades and the name staying the same such as Windows and Frontier are viable products, but in reality are derivitive works and therefore are new works.

Copyright if used at all as a software protection mechanism has a fatal defect as the government backed out on their part of the deal when they stopped requiring a deposit and a registration fee.

Intellectual property and copyright get confused as copyright requires an 'expression' whether ink on paper or bits on disk or pixels on a screen.

Digital Rights are exactly what we give them.

Gate erection on the web has been a dismal failure. DVD was cracked by a couple of young people who just wanted to watch movies on a Linux box. Napster and it's successors demonstrate that sharing is more powerful than repression and exclusivity, whether by format, or playback.

Be on the lookout for the return of the Vinyl Record playable in factory sealed units.
