Copycats and Copyrights: Solving the Casual Games Puzzle
Price:$7.95

SKU#: GDC07-4651
Add to Cart
More Info
Description: The features that make casual games so popular - simple and easily-mastered rules and gameplay, minimal or no plots and characters, brevity, and 2D graphic - render a substantial portion of casual games content unprotectable under U.S. copyright law. Copyright protection extends only to creative expression, such as original storylines, unique artwork and developed characters. It does not cover universal ideas used over and over, such as mazes, chases, puzzles, solitaire and pinball. Using games like Pac-Man, Tetris, Bejeweled and Zuma to illustrate, copyright principles will be applied to casual games to distinguish protectable content from freely imitated ideas, as well as to suggest design techniques by which casual game developers can strengthen their claim to copyright exclusivity. Although casual games are a distinct subset, the copyright analysis has application to games in general.
