Forget football; the world’s fastest-growing sport is live video gaming. However, the rise of eSports has created a legal minefield. Professional gamers, teams, leagues, broadcasters and stakeholders all face increasingly complex contractual, intellectual property (IP) and other legal challenges. What are current the trends in eSports contracts? How do streaming platforms develop their brands around IP they do not really own? How do game developers protect their IP, and not infringe player rights and the rights of others? Should regulation be introduced with player protections to help promote the growth of a real legal framework in eSports? What of rules preventing manipulation/cheating and banning player betting? Should there be a single governing body establishing uniform, overarching rules, and how far should its reach extend to ethical issues? This will be a discussion of eSports lawyers and industry players at the forefront of the eSports sector.
