Yeah, it's a weird blog post -- I don't know whether the author is a lawyer, but this isn't how most lawyers would go about writing a blog post about whether "look and feel" is copyrighted. The guy treats the Copyright Office web site as gospel, never mentions key Supreme Court cases, and only barely looks at the statutes. Yet, his ultimate conclusion is pretty much correct.

But, this guy has given me courage. If programmers are comfortable writing about law, maybe this lawyer should start writing about programming.
