it's the Law" 

                                            from Roman law



    Is a vital topic for spektrumista I
try to lower open? Probably yes! In any case, each of
We are already faced with this or another face. To be honest,
total ignorance of the legal community there, and so
requires extensive educational program. Especially the need for 
this, you can understand when read the material. My 
oboboschenie of total Illiteracy is exaggerated, but in its 
own, it is true, though quite sad.



    As I am doing (these issues in particular) in our
Faculty of Law, the sin would be on my side
silent on this important topic.


    Who are familiar with the Spectrum media can recall
of various conflicts, 'theft' of ideas, and other dishonesty,
flashing on the pages of various editions, beginning the end of 
that You can already see ...



    So. In our world, not enough to just know the law "On 
Copyright right ', we must also understand how it is 
interpreted. 


    Current Russian law, his theory on
transition from socialism to wild degraded
capitalism, the world hath revealed a couple of terms Russian 
Newspeak. Not possible that all of this you already know, but 
I'd like to see that a computer program is meant first and 
foremost objective form reporting aggregate data and commands 
designed to operation of computers and other computer devices to

produce a specific result. At the same time among
computer programs also include preparatory material (in
hoi polloi - sources) obtained in the course of its 
development, and audiovisual displays generated by.



    Programs as objects of copyright in full
is spread the basic provisions of the Copyright Act and
related rights. In particular, programs, databases,
integrated circuits are protected if they are
the results of creative activity, expressed in any language
and in any form.


    It should be noted separately, and this has to realize 
everyone who thinks otherwise. People, vbey it in their head, 
well, shorter Remember!



    "Protection Act does not apply to ideas, principles,
underlying programs, databases and topologies
integrated circuits, including the note on absolutely any
programming languages. "So this is nothing less than that as
you would not stick to their 'idea', it is no copyright no
supply, because it is not expressed in an objective way!


    More ...


    Copyright in computer programs, databases
topology, as well as other objects arises from the time they
creation and expression in an objective manner. However,
owner of all property rights to the program may, at its
request, either directly or through his representative
register at the Russian Agency for the Legal Protection

    Registration is done by filing an application for 
registration. 


    The composition of the application includes a number of 
documents:

    CPA, including an abstract;

  - Confirmation of the registration fee or base

    for a ground for excluding or reducing the size.


   Received applications to verify whether the necessary 
documents and their compliance with the requirements the law 
demands. When polozhitenyh the audit painting makes a program

appropriate register and issue the applicant a certificate of
official registration of the claimed subject matter. 
Information about registered objects is published in the 
Official Gazette Painting. I can say right away - no one 
Spectrum Program is not there, there was no visible ... will 
not. 


    Using computer programs by third parties, referred to as
users who are generally in agreement with
holders. However, this general rule there are a number
exceptions. That these people and mistaken!


   Thus, in particular, allowed svobonaya resale or transfer
otherwise the rights of ownership or other rights to copy
program or database after the first sale or other
transfer of rights in this instance.


   In addition, the person lawfully in possession of a copy of 
the program, allowed (podcherkivayu!) is free to manipulate it, 
including including adapted, ie, make the changes necessary

exclusively for their operation on the
Users, as well as to their recording and storage
(Remember, another well-known Enlight'96 KANO terribly run into

Scorpion, in which out (# fd), a not working. So, KANO - you
once again wrong! But there is little question - and there were
Is then these kodebasterovskie megademy freeware?).


   Legal owner has the right to make a copy of the program
archival purposes and for replacement of a lawfully acquired
subsequently lost, mutilated or has become unfit for
Use of the original. He is also entitled to free
decompile a program, ie, reproduce and transform

persons.


    Well, what do you say now, gentlemen, hackers and other 
pirates? And this: "if a Death Moroz won some Deja
