SCA 之前曾考虑过计算机程序的作者身份问题 *Haupt T/A Soft Copy vs. Brewers Marketing Intelligence (Pty) Ltd* 2006 (4) SA 458 (SCA)。 法院在 *豪普特* 说： *“……豪普特可以随时指导程序的开发方向，或者如果他愿意，可以终止进一步的开发。因此，就计划的发展而言，豪普特对库切拥有权威。他在指挥，而库切则服从于这样的指挥。 ……我认为 Haupt 控制着计算机程序的编写……”* ## SCA的结论 考虑到这段话，SCA 得出结论，ARC 需要证明它在 BeefPro 的开发过程中对 Pauw 先生进行了控制和监督。 在评估事实后，SCA 得出结论，Pauw 先生开发了该计划，独立工作并运用自己的技能和经验，只是从 ARC 寻求某些信息以确保该计划达到其目的。 Pauw 先生没有听从 ARC 任何人的指示，也没有在任何人的监督下工作。 作为该程序的独立开发者，Pauw 先生不必持续获得 ARC 任何人的批准，他的工作的技术方面也不必由 ARC 的权威人员进行检查。 法院强调，仅仅提供功能要求、对正在取得的进展进行定期审查以及测试以确定程序是否符合其目的，并不能建立控制权，也不授予作者身份。 由于 ARC 在 BeefPro 的开发过程中没有对 Pauw 先生进行控制和监督，因此 SCA 得出结论，他独立创建了该程序，并且 ARC 未能履行与其版权主张有关的责任。因此，SCA 认定 Pauw 先生是 BeefPro 计算机程序版权的作者和所有者，上诉得到了支持，并支付了费用。 ## 给外行的教训 外行可以从这个判断中得到什么？ 重要的是要有一个适当的* 书面* 协议以反映知识产权的所有权，包括版权。有了这样的协议，就不会有关于可能的侵权和/或所有权的争议。但是，如果不存在此类协议，并且教师不对创建者进行控制和监督，则可以安全地假设创建者是计算机程序的作者和所有者。
