Line 29:
Part of the difficulty dates back to the statement by Judge [[Learned Hand]] who noted, talking specifically about a play, that the exact words were certainly protected, and then there were a series of layers of increasing abstraction before the high-level plot outline is reached, which is not protected. An ad hoc judgement based on careful comparison of the works would be needed to determine where in this spectrum an alleged copy lay, and thus whether it was a violation. But "careful comparison" in the case of software works might involve checking millions of lines of code.{{sfn|Mnookin|2010|p=158}}
