Abstract
Abstract In 1980, Congress amended the federal copyright statutes to cover computer programs. The courts interpreted these statutes to protect the creator of software from copying, as well as translating into another programming language. Translations into foreign languages (i.e., French or Spanish) are also prohibited. Commercial software developers use licenses and the threat of legal action to protect their investment against unauthorized copying.
