Computer Games, Law, Regulation and Policy Symposium

14-15 February 2008

The ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation
presents a symposium to explore:
* struggles over the use and reuse of IP
* rights and responsibilities of modders and machinima creators
* jurisdictional issues
* the clashes between developers and lawyers in creating terms of access
* the legitimacy or legality of terms in End User Licence
Agreements and Terms Of Service
* the legitimacy of secondary markets
* the status of ephemeral and user-created content with
classification boards and internet regulators
* in-game governance and exclusion policies
* privacy, data mining and surveillance
* appropriate government support for the emerging games industry

This symposium will offer a chance to discuss the issues of game
governance, from code through to government policy, and to explore an
integrated set of solutions to the current problems. Bringing
together people from creative industries, media studies, law,
business and IT faculties, industry, government and player groups,
the emphasis will be on exploring and suggesting alternatives to
current practices.
