From the Paper:
" Computer Software Piracy, Racking, and Federal LawThis paper will discuss current Federal law relating to software piracy and hacking. The section on piracy will concentrate on Federal copyright laws and how they are applied to combat software piracy. It should be noted that the copyrightability of all aspects of software has not yet been firmly established by the copyright laws, although the 1980 amendments to the Copyright Act of 1976 did explicitly include certain aspects of software within the Act's protection. Federal court cases remain divided as to the extent of protection afforded to software. Similarly, the laws concerning hacking are not all-inclusive, primarily because there is some confusion as to whether certain types of hacking, particularly the simple accessing of certain computers, constitute crimes."
