Abstract
After a deep introduction on the technical and definitory aspects of computer programs, in this essay I study the European case-law, stressing the renovated importance of the idea/expression dichotomy. The occasion is propitious to describe the evolution of law in a technological environment: nihilistic views have to be abandoned.
