Copyright protection subsists in original works of authorshipfixed in any tangible medium of expression [...] In no case does copyright protection for an original work of authorship extend to any idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation, concept principle, or discovery.

| Context |
In the present context, there are two related areas of technological development since the 1967 and 1971 Stockholm and Paris Revisions of the Convention which have precipitated amendment to the Berne Convention. These are, first, the ability to produce copyright works in digital form; and secondly, the new means of transmitting or delivery copyright works, in particular, the development and widespread use of the Internet. […] Not only is digitisation creating a world of intangibles ("the virtual world"), it has also made it extremely cheap, easy and quick to make excellent copies of works and distribute them widely. This means that the scope for economic loss to the author is considerably increased.
