Deconstructing software copyright, 30 years of bad logic. Greg Aharonian, the author of the Internet Patent Newsletter, has put together a detailed study of U.S. legal reasoning around software copyrights. His conclusion: "In short, today's global software copyright laws are not based on logic or science, but the forty year-old anti-patent wishes of hardware companies who now increasingly earn their profits from their non-hardware products and services. Software copyright, where it is not illogical, is based on outdated economic policy considerations. Globally, software copyright laws should be abolished."
