[jillduffy]

The IGDA London Chapter is holding its next chapter meeting on September 18 at 7 p.m.

It's going to be called Rules of the Game: Legal Issues in Game Development. Here's a synopsis from the web site:

"Over the last few years, many game developers have found themselves on the wrong side of the law. From careless use of copyrighted imagery to unintended violations of a game's intended age rating, game development is full of hidden legal pitfalls. This evening will give you a better insight into how to protect yourself and your company."

Venue: The Slug and Lettuce 1 America Square EC3N 2LS

The evening schedule:
20:00-20:30 Walk Tall, Speak Softly Carry a Big Stick
Alex Chapman
Negotiating the legal pitfalls of the Games Industry. A look at what developers should and shouldn't do when developing games and building a business

20:30-21:00 Classic Games Industry IP Screw-Ups
Vincent Scheurer
A review of some classic examples of IP infringement and content problems in video games - with some strategies to avoid making the same mistakes in the future. From the Pig Pen club to Mr Gorilla, passing through the archaeological digs of southern France and the religious monuments of northern England, is no game safe any longer?

21:00-21:30 Open Q&A session with the speakers.

See you there for networking and a pint!
