Legal Conception of Computer Programme as a Subject of the Copyright

The fact, that a programme can hardly be considered as a classic authorial work is the cause of quarrel in the argument; if a computer programme can be considered as a authorial work. It differs by many specifics and by the way of use and utilization. The effort at the explanation of these specifics is the actual content of this paper. The copyright does not comprise the protection of such a type of work - at the time of its rise it even could not reckon with something like this. With respect to the practice in the other states there is no point to the radical change of that fact. But the question, how the legal order faces up to it (so that the gloomy vision, that computer programmes will become the means of destabilization of copyright a "computer virus" which will undermine and dissipate this estimable institute, would not be filled), stays.
