2. How copyright protects the Software

In South Africa a computer program is protected as a literary work under the Copyright Act 98 of 1978. Copyright arises automatically on creation — there is no registration requirement, and no certificate is needed for the right to exist or to be enforced.

Copyright in a computer program endures for 50 years from the end of the year in which the program was made available to the public or, if it was never made available to the public, from the end of the year in which it was made.

The exclusive rights of the copyright owner in a computer program include the right to reproduce it, to adapt or modify it, to publish it, to distribute or sell copies, to rent it, and to make it available to the public by any means.
