Check out @AdamStarrLawyer's latest post about bananas, duct tape, and intellectual property.
Great news! You can duct-tape a banana to the wall! 🍌
Why? Because the court ruled that duct-taping a banana to the wall is not protected IP!
See how the court's analysis applies to video game copyrights!

We talked about how to use #videogamelaw contracts to manage risks. But a contract can’t cover every conceivable issue. Fear not! There are some legal concepts that can fill in contract gaps.
Enter: the “covenant of good faith.”

@AdamStarrLawyer, the Video Game Lawyer, demystifies "implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing."
In every contract there is an “implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.”
Basically, you can’t unfairly screw over the other person, even though it wouldn’t technically violate the contract.
How does this come up in #videogamelaw? To the thread! 🧵

It’s #videogamelaw day! Picking up where we left off last week. Here’s a common issue:
You agree to take a percent of a game. What’s to stop the game owner from doing something shady to cut you out of the revenue stream?
Thread time! 🧵⬇️

Great article about some #Roblox legal issues and pre-planning to avoid later disputes about game ownership.
Particularly important are work-for-hire agreements and IP assignments.
