The only slight difference on copyright for software purposes has been to allow a backup copy for personal use. There are also rules applicable as to the length of time copyright is active which have bearing. Basically it is life or lives in being plus 70 years. However, if the authorship of the work is unknown it is 50 years from date of publication. If a Company owns the copyright, then it is 70 years from the end of the business. Alas that is it - copyright law is something that does not get changed too often, because of it being subject to the Berne treaty - ie it is an international law, and therefore at least a majority of countries would need to agree to any changes Rich
