metadata.value: This article investigates whether the new copyright and neighbouring rights law adopted by
  the United Arab Emirates (UAE) legislature is considered appropriate to protect computer
  programs, or if it is better to establish an independent legal system that includes the appropriate
  legal protection that is in line with rapid technological progress. For computer programs
  to enjoy protection, there are two conditions must be met: the work should be a mental production,
  and the work should be an innovation. Once these two objective conditions are met,
  computer programs can enjoy automatic protection under the copyright system. Moreover,
  the study will spot light on Federal Law concerning Copyright and Neighbouring Rights that
  granted the author of a program a set of moral rights, which do not differ from the rights
  granted to the authors of traditional works, and it has been agreed that there are four moral
  rights. We concluded that the computer programs are considered as per Federal Law concerning
  Copyright and Neighbouring Rights as literary work. They are therefore subject to the
  protection established under the copyright system. However, despite the importance of the
  copyright law, it is still unable to keep pace with the technological and economic developments
  and is not commensurate with the nature of computer programs whose development
  pace is increasing daily.
