Can you elaborate?  As far as I know, the majority of countries
(*including* the US) gives the program author copyright by default.
However, there are still two cases:

1) the program written before the Berne convention, without copyright
   notice attached; and

2) the program deliberately disowned by its author.

Besides, I try to avoid the distinction betwee "Europe" and US.
Europe consists of many countries, each with its own set of laws and a
bouquet of law-related bogosities.
