What is eSports?
Esports is a form of competitive digital sports using video games. Players compete with each other for prizes often in organised tournaments or events.
Why are lawyers needed for a video game?
If you are developing the code for a new game there are legal issues involved.
What is involved if you are a developing a video game?
Game content, legally, belongs to the developer as intellectual property. This can create licensing challenges when the professional leagues and tournament coordinators use the game in a public arena. A license must be sought from the developer for use of the game in a public setting. The license must also be drafted in a way that it extends beyond the organisers and the players. Similarly, professional gamers wishing to live stream their content online (for example, via YouTube) need to seek the relevant authority from the developer to be able to do so. Players discarding these legal guidelines could end up banned from competitions or face more serious legal penalties.
