What is a computer program?

It is not labor.

Tell that to the programmers who spent hours and hours laboring to write it.

But then again, perhaps their employer would prefer your version. "Gee, sorry boys... I was going to pay you for your labor, but, it turns out that since you're made in the image of God, I can't. A Socialist tells me that it would be immoral. But thanks for the work; the program's a killer!"

I think that average programmer is able to distinguish his labor from the software his labor created.
