Digital entertainment law is an emerging field of law and goes by many names (game law, interactive entertainment law, video game law, or computer game law). Digital entertainment lawyers or game lawyers need to have a blend of various skills. They need to:
- know and love games,
- understand technology and
- have solid knowledge and experience of the law and how it impacts on games.
In Nick Hall and Kevin Hoole, we have two such attorneys. They are both fanatical about games, and Nick is the current chairperson of Make Games South Africa, an Association of Game Makers. Nick has also recently been inducted into the Video Game Bar Association.
