Abstract:
The research was divided into two chapters:
The first chapter reviewed the appropriateness of the conditions
required under the law of copyright to protect computer programs,
and discussed the position of the Jurisprudence, which opposes
the protection of software, which agrees to the protection that is
approved under copyright law. And discussed the arguments and
evidence supporting this position or that, and then concluded:
1 - Computer software covered by the criminal protection
approved by the copyright law to verify the conditions of
protection required under the law.
2 - It achieved innovation in the program through a racist (check)
and (mixing) of the constituent elements.
3 - The protection of all programs, whether the source of these
programs, or programs or software applications of this goal, or
translation software.
4 - Criminal protection include all phases of the program and the
requirement for innovation but does not include the algorithm
itself by its very nature.
Then at the second chapter is devoted to the statement that
the attacks on the moral rights of authors of the program, and
then showed his financial rights. it is necessary to observe the
following:
1 - Acts which constitute a violation of the rights of authors of
literary program, and in particular (group program) .
