Software quite rightly receives protection under copyright law but in Datel , Sony wants a ruling that outlaws the modification of variables generated by software that only ever exist in RAM and form no part of the underlying copyrighted source code.

Datel ’s software simply ran alongside games like Motorstorm Arctic Edge , tweaking values in memory to modify how the game played.

In January 2012 , the Hamburg Regional Court found largely in favor of Sony .

AG Szpunar draws the following conclusion: Article 1(1 ) to ( 3 ) of Directive 2009/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 on the legal protection of computer programs must be interpreted as meaning that the protection conferred by that directive pursuant to that provision does not extend to the content of the variables which the protected computer program has transferred to the RAM of the computer and uses in running it.
