John Carter McKnight(also known as former Al Andalus resident Grayson Redstar) will be the guest speaker of the editors of SmarterTechnology on Tuesday, Jan 12, at 1pm slt.
"As the population of virtual spaces continues to explode; the value of virtual economies continues to increase; applications and use-cases for virtual worlds continue to proliferate; use of virtual worlds by corporations and business keeps multiplying; and as virtual places and products offer more and knottier legal challenges for adjudication, basic questions of virtual world governance -- once a topic discussed only by game designers and specialized entertainment lawyers -- are coming under broader examination by internet, federal and local, economic, business and regulatory policymakers. Join us for a conversation with virtual world and legal expert John Carter McKnight, Adjunct Professor of Law at the Sandra Day O'Connor School of Law at Arizona State University, whose upcoming course on Virtual World Governance -- along with a hotly-anticipated international Spring conference on the topic -- will define the field, the stakes, and explain what virtual world operators, corporate users and other stakeholders need to know to optimize benefit and avoid risk.
