This article examines how software copyright courts deal with the challenges posed by computer technology in their application and modification of rules regarding scientific evidence, especially in their choice between alternative ways for admitting and evaluating scientific knowledge and testimony. In the face of a technological challenge, courts are more likely to depend on external sources of technical authority. In this process, the conceptualization of what is science and scientific knowledge is constructed in a way that acknowledges expert testimony rather than layperson opinion and a computer developer’s knowledge and skills rather than a user’s knowledge and experience.
