According to attorney and video game fan Brent Lorentz, here are 3 areas that will necessitate you hiring a lawyer one day if you work in video games (besides the normal matters of corporate law, contract law, intellectual property law and entertainment law for video game makers, middlemen and artists already prevalent):
- To represent top video gaming talent like sports stars.
- To unravel the gambling angle and determine whether the games are “games of skill” or “games of chance.”
- To address legal issues in a virtual world as it parallels the real one: (“Virtual infringement,” anyone?)
