EPC article 52 is just wrong

An investion can be both the creation of something or a new (method) of doing something, a method doesn't always require a physical part of the invension, as long as you can demonstrate it. When people patent software, its the method that's being patented not the code.

If you exclude computer programs all together, you take away protection for a lot of people. It's no wonder entrepreneurs feel they have to go to America to better their chances of success.
