More on gaming conference
There is a great thread over at terranova.blogs.com about the conference. And I am very proud indeed of this mention from Richard Bartle:
“Fortunately, the lawyers at the conference did seem to have the “right” opinion (from my point of view) even though most were new to the field and few were actual games-players. I began to take heart during a talk by Yochai Benkler of Yale Law School, who gave a very good overview of the issues (if not any actual solutions). The turning point for me, though, was the talk by Susan Crawford of NYLS. In it, she discussed the notion of identity in virtual worlds, and asked whether people need a “law of identity” to protect these second selves from organisations (eg. VW companies) who can obliterate them at will. She came out against, which I would have stood up and cheered at if it weren't for my British reserve.”

Got something to say?
I did tell you this when we were discussing the conference afterwards in the Chinese restaurant, so it shouldn't have come as a surprise!
