by Berin Szoka on January 26, 2011 · 2 comments
Hosted by SMU’s Guildhall video game law graduate program, the Game::Business::Law summit is the leading conference in the field. Follow the discussion on the #GBL2011 hashtag. Here’s the make-up of my privacy panel:
Moderator
Professor Xuan-Thao Nguyen, SMU Dedman School of Law
Speakers
Jennifer Archie, Partner, Latham & Watkins LLP
Andrew S. Ehmke, Partner, Haynes and Boone, LLP
Dr. Joshua Fairfield, Washington & Lee School of Law
Berin Szoka, Founder, TechFreedom
This is an all-star cast. Prof. Nguyen is a big name in video game law field; I had the privilege to work with Jennifer Archie on Internet law when I practiced at Latham; and Josh Fairfield is one of the few law professors I find myself in perfect philosophical harmony with. Check out this summary of his excellent 2009 paper Virtual Parentalism. I only met Andy last night at the reception, but he’s a solid thinker on the law of gaming. As they say on postcards: Wish you were here!
