Copyright law is really complicated

Our ideas about copyright have changed dramatically with the widespread use of computers

A drop down menu on a piece of software used to be a copyright infringement if you had a drop down menu in your software that had a similar 'look & feel'

7 years later - a menu became considered a 'mode of operation' and therefore not a work of copyright.

Reading about this makes my brain feel like exploding!
