Yeah, sure.
Copy and diffuse a software from a big compagnie, and try to argue that
you have the right to do so because "there is nothing in software that
could be granted copyright protection".
There ARE things in software that are protected by copyright, and
courts (in France, see http://www.legalis.net/legalnet/jurislog.htm,
but I'm sure you can find others in USA) have recognized them.
Of course, may be they are not the thing YOU want to be protected.
But I defy you to show me a court judgment that say "yes, you have the
right to copy and diffuse this CD/tape/floppy drive/software because
there is nothing in software protected by copyright".
Prove me wrong.
