Should Patenting Software be allowed

ASSIGNMENT:
In response to an explosion of software patent litigation in the last decade, the US Supreme Court ruled in the case Alice Corp vs. CLS Bank International that software that merely implements an existing or obvious idea on a computer cannot be patented, however they allowed that there may be some circumstances under which software could qualify for patent protection. Some observers argue that the ruling did not go far enough and that software should not be patentable at all. Argue whether or not you think software should be patentable. Is copyright protection sufficient or insufficient to reward software authors?

How ever you wish argue for software being allowed to be patentable.
