Hi all

I thought people on this mailing list might be interested in this - our CCi 
research buddies are holding a symposium on 14-15 February in Brisbane on 
computer games, regulation and law:

This looks to be a really interesting event. Fred von Lohmann from the EFF is 
keynote speaker on the first day and will be looking at machinima and issues 
relating to copyright, trademark and contracts. He'll also be participating 
in panel sessions on player participation in design and community management. 
Terry Cutler is the other keynote speaker and he'll be talking on the 
relations between government and industry.

The focus for most of the conference will be on discussion, with panel 
sessions on everything from regulation through design and code, through 
co-creation scenarios where players and developers negotiate the tricky 
territory between professionals and amateurs, to classification and 
regulation through government bodies. Yours truly will also be around to 
talking about open content licensing for games.

Best of all, registration is free.

Feel free to pass on information about the symposium to anyone you think 
would be interested.
