Did you read that article?
For most alleged copyright infringements, this filtering makes
little difference. It is important to recognize that, with today’s
large, complex programs, most copyright infringement consists of
the verbatim copying or unauthorized distribution of a computer
program, and no question over whether any similarities are
protected expression or unprotected function need be considered.
The AFC test comes into play when one party argues infringement
and the other argues independent creation, with similarities
forced by the nature of the implementation. Copyright is enough
to protect a computer program when it's copied! Once again, you
demonstrate how little you know.
