Suppose a patentable idea along the lines of:
step 1: a
step 2: send Hyman a bomb
step 3: c
and a program
int main() {
step_1: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA();
step_2: _________________send_Hyman_a_bomb________________();
step_3: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ();
}
which is not copyrightable at all (as a computer program work), yet
a computer program work implementing send_Hyman_a_bomb() could be
copyrightable!
Got it now silly?

alexander.
