Modding: Amateur Authorship and How the Video Game Industry Is Actually Getting It Right.
- Authors
Wallace, Ryan
- Abstract
The article discusses the legal aspects of amateur video game authorship as of 2014, focusing on the global video game industry's revenues and the sales records that were apparently set by video game developer Take-Two Interactive Software's game "Grand Theft Auto V" and director James Cameron's science fiction film "Avatar." Speech protections for video games under the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment are examined, along with the legal aspects of altering (modding) video game code.
