Computer and Video Game Law: Cases, Statutes,
Forms, Problems and Materials
By Ashley Saunders Lipson and
Robert D. Brain
Casebound: $85
Carolina Academic Press: (919) 489-7486
Teacher's Manual Available
Fun and games have become serious business as evidenced by the rapidly expanding,
multi-billion dollar, global computer and video game industry. The relatively new entertainment
medium has been growing exponentially and so, too, have its legal difficulties. This new
casebook, with its problems and exercises, deals with all aspects of this fascinating phenomenon,
including: Product History and Development, Intellectual Property, Commercial Exploitation,
and Regulation. The cases guide the reader down a colorful path of disputes involving such
familiar hardware names and game titles as: Magnavox, Gameboy, Nintendo, Playstation, Pong,
Pacman, Space Invaders, Tetris, Tomb Raiders, Frogger, Galaxian, Asteroids, Donkey Kong,
Pete Rose Baseball, and Doom. The casebook is suitable as a primary text for both classes and
seminars.
"What this book is and what this book isn't both matter. Computer
and Video Game Law is not a collection of regurgitation in which
authors explain the minutia of a few big cases to people with a
cursory interest. It is a compendium of cases, and an excellent
compendium at that. It has big cases with big names like Nintendo
and Sony battling over trademarks and copyrights. It has small
cases such as the one in which a martial artist sued over the use of
his image in a best selling game. I wish this book had existed when
I wrote my book on the history of video games. I spent hundreds of
dollars doing the research for my chapter on video game trials and
acquired not even a third of the case material contained in this
book."

History of Video Games

Mathematics, Physics and Finance for Lawyers
By Ashley Saunders Lipson
Casebound: $85
Carolina Academic Press: (919) 489-7486
As the first pedagogical casebook combining the subjects of Mathematics,
Physics, Finance and Law, this treatise is predicated on the notion that lawyers are
ill-prepared to face a world dominated by numbers and the people who know how
to distort and misrepresent them. The title of the book can be deceiving,
particularly because it is designed to avoid the tedious topics and
calculations which would typically fall under its headings. Moreover, the book is
designed to take an important trio of crucial topics and spoon feed them to the
people who need them the most but like them least -- law students.
Many jokingly state that they became law students because they couldn't handle
numbers. A rude awakening, however, soon confronts them in practice, where
numbers are the primary focus of their careers. Nearly every chapter of this book 
provides information that all lawyers must possess; some of the information is
indispensable. We live in a scientific world, a digital world --
one that is ruled by numbers, equations, formulas and statistics.
The topics may seem complex, but the explanations are
elementary and, at times, entertaining.
