LittleBigPlanet Creations Raising Copyright Questions 66

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday November 04, 2008 @02:33AM from the darth-sackboy-the-hedgehog dept.

Joystiq's Law of the Game column uses the recently released LittleBigPlanet to address the question of intellectual property rights for user-created content within and for games. At this point, Sony's ToS claims a great deal of control over users' work, unlike Second Life's, which is much more permissive. GiantBomb has a related story pointing out creations within LittleBigPlanet that are copies of other games, and how they could lead to legal troubles for Sony if they aren't quick about taking them down.

My apologies if you are receiving multiple copies of this call for papers.

We invite new and innovative submissions for an upcoming symposium to discuss the novel concept of "nullity". "Nullity" was first proposed by Dr. Anderson when he was teaching schoolchildren in 2006A.D. (the actual inventor is still debated). However from that time onwards nullity has been used to prove many phenomenon in everyday life including debt reduction, break ups and even vasectomy. The manuscript should be novel and not published elsewhere. The area of interest includes but is not limited to:

Nullity in network design
Nullity chip design
Evolutionary nullity
Educating children on nullity
Nullity based algorithms

Please submit the above papers directly to Dr. Anderson at an.ders.on@__.__ (Please install the nullity plugging to display email address). The symposium will be held from 29-35 March 300G.E. on First Foundation.
