Our video-conference guest speaker this week is professor Greg Lastowka of Rutgers School of Law. Greg is a pioneer in video game law research and scholarship (such things can be said given how relatively new the field is). Greg will be focussing on the topic of User Generated Content and will be discussing his latest research (see Rutgers–Camden Professor Studies the Effects of Copyright on User-Generated Content).
In preparation for our class please read the following short article authored by Prof. Lastowka: Minecraft, Intellectual Property, and the Future of Copyright
