Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book combines an authoritative interpretation of the EC Council Directive on the legal protection of software adopted in May 1991, with a practitioner's view on how to deal with the issues it raises for industry and the legal profession. Legal Protection of Computer Programmes in Europe provides a valuable comparison of the Directive to the corresponding laws of the US, Japan and Eastern Europe and should prove of great use to all those who are legal advisers to software developers and distributors, as well as to those in the software industry itself involved in the drafting of licences.
