LECTURE - Intellectual Property Rights Part 2
The second part of the intellectual property rights lecture was about data protection, mainly for digital content.
Although it is good that digital contents are protected under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) 1998, US, there is a huge flaw for the video game industry which is that game publishers abuse the DMCA and preventing people from preserving old and abandoned games, even in museums and archives. Their reason was they considered all hacking as illegal and associated with piracy. Luckily, there are multiple groups/associations, such as Entertainment Software Association (ESA), trying to get abandoned games exempted from the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s anti-circumvention provisions (Section 1201) by the Copyright Office in order to allow those games to be archived as historical artifacts.
SEMINAR - Pitch 2
I felt like I did badly for this pitch. I was too nervous to get my words out, resulting in a bad speech. We were advised that we should try to present without the use of notes. Notes sometimes not helpful actually as they prevent us to show our presentation skills fully. I'll try to present without notes next time.
