The students of the Gaming Campus (Paris) – G.Tech course, dedicated to the professional specialization of computer programming – received for a week a legal seminar given by Maitre Chomiac de Sas on the theme of new technologies, communication law and computer software.
Digital Law: Creation, Distribution & Liability for Online Content
The constant evolution of digital technology and societal practices is addressed legally through a process of co-regulation involving all stakeholders in shaping observed practices before the legislative implementation of best practices recognized by professionals.
Digital law, formerly known as the law of new information and communication technologies (ICTs), is precisely based on the analysis and classification of observed uses in order to determine the application of the potentially applicable legal framework(s).
Gaming Tech Training – Digital Law and New Technologies (ICT)
Committed to a practical approach to teaching ICT law, the training provided by Mr. Chomiac de Sas aims to impart useful knowledge to future professionals. In this context, the course begins with an overview of the various aspects of law related to digital law: communication, the internet, advertising, personal data and GDPR, intellectual property, software, and applications.
Furthermore, practical examples linked to industry activity bring to life the legal challenges faced by digital players: the liability of hosting providers such as Twitter, eBay, and Pornhub; artificial intelligence; intellectual property protection; video game monetization systems and esports competitions; influencers and dropshipping; cybersecurity and cyberattacks; and more.
Recent developments regarding the use of third-party authentication services on the internet, such as the France Connect platform, particularly for access to websites for those under 18, were presented in greater detail. The sensitive issue of cyberbullying of minors and the fight against online harassment, which has resulted in particularly harsh sentences (Marvel Fitness case), were also discussed.
Congratulations again to the students of @GamingCampus for their involvement in projects related to new technologies on fascinating topics, including advertising on TikTok, Nintendo’s intellectual property, commercial agreements for video game streaming, the protection of music in video games, fan games and their tolerance by publishers, the intellectual property of products created by developers, and more.
