Discover the Webinar Series
This series features seasoned attorneys Enrique Capdevila and Claire Temple, who will break down the fast-changing legal landscape impacting gaming and interactive media, particularly within the European Union and the UK. Why should you care? Because the regulatory frameworks discussed have extraterritorial reach, meaning they affect developers, publishers, platforms, and studios well beyond the EU’s borders.
Key topics of discussion will cover the latest regulatory trends, including issues around privacy, artificial intelligence, consumer protection, and online safety. With the digital space transforming rapidly, grasping these legal implications is essential for anyone involved in the gaming sector.
What Topics Will Be Covered?
One major focus of the webinars is the legal intricacies surrounding in-game virtual assets. As games increasingly weave these digital goods into their fabric, questions around ownership, transferability, and regulation are more critical than ever. Capdevila and Temple will clarify how existing laws apply and what new developments could be on the horizon.
But that’s not all. Privacy issues will also take center stage, especially in light of tightening data protection regulations. Participants will learn how to navigate compliance requirements effectively, ensuring that their gaming platforms honor user privacy while still meeting legal obligations. Does your game comply?
Copyright challenges are another hot topic, particularly with user-generated content becoming more prevalent. The legal ramifications of sharing and utilizing player-created content can be complicated, and understanding these nuances is vital for steering clear of potential legal pitfalls.
Who Should Tune In?
This webinar series is perfect for legal professionals, game developers, publishers, and anyone else involved in the gaming industry eager to stay ahead of the curve regarding the latest legal trends. By attending, you’ll not only enhance your knowledge but also engage in discussions that could shape the future of gaming law.
