Legal Protection for Artists: Video Games and Interactive Media

Are you an artist or musician who contributes material for video games and other interactive media? Join attorney and software developer Michael Schneider for a discussion of important legal issues in the development and commercialization of interactive media products. Michael will discuss a variety of issues, including what intellectual property rights are involved in the creation and marketing of video games, and why it's important for artists and developers to understand these rights and how to protect them. Also learn crucial steps that both the creators of video games and those who contribute to them need to take to protect themselves in the process of marketing and distributing games. Bring your questions.

Michael Schneider is a partner at Bitwise Legal, a law firm focused on the needs of software and interactive media companies. Michael is also an independent iPhone developer and is co-author of the book "The Business of iPhone App Development: Making and Marketing Apps that Succeed," published by Apress this year.
