Try leaving out the "embodied,"" And "substrate" or, as the 
Copyright Act calls it, "tangible medium of expression."

I think that a large part of the problem is that it is difficult
for people to draw a distinction between the information and
the substrate.  It's sort of like telling the dancer from the
dance.
