E6: The Evolution and Importance of Video Game Law

"All these things that we now see the digital media world is dealing with, video games mostly dealt with 5 to 10 years ahead of anybody else. All that stuff we take for granted now was really pioneered in video games." In this episode we have Jon Festinger QC, a lawyer and teacher from Canada, talking about his contribution to the video game legal sector and shares his insight on the evolution and importance of video game/interactive entertainment legal research throughout time. If you've ever doubted the significance of video game law and why it needs to be taken seriously, have a listen to Jon's fresh perspective! Jon had also given a few presentations during the 'More Than Just a Game' conference held on April 4-5. If you missed out on the event, don't worry - there is a lot more to come throughout the year!
