MUD2MMO: Legally Live, Livestreaming and The Law

When cameras pop up on our city streets people cry out "BIG BROTHER!" But when more people livestream games without your permission, you don't even know they're doing it..

For many of you regular GS readers, this may seem familiar.  It is–this is taken from an article I wrote on this very website a little while ago.  I’m still sick, originality isn’t on my agenda this week.

This show is just bringing up some of the potential problems that live streamers and game companies may run into in the very near future concerning privacy issues and live broadcasts.  Feedback is, as always, welcomed and encouraged.

I'm a gamer. I'm a reality junkie. I'm a cynic. I'm a dinosaur. I'm a writer. I'm so much more than a paragraph can say. You want more? Ok. I started a video game show on the internet some time ago. See, I've played video games since Intellivision and Atari 2600 and PONG back in the day. Retro-gaming doesn't really fire me up as much as seeing how the community ticks. And after seeing way too many "I'm too young to have played this game when it first came out but it MAKES ME SO ANGRY" reviewers who would happily eviscerate my childhood for lulz... yeah I tossed my hat into the ring. the quickly scooped it back up, I'm told I have a bald spot that needs covering. Outside of gaming... yes I go outside shut up... I like to play paintball when I can. I snowboard a lot, when I can. I go mountain biking, when I can... seeing a trend yet? I prefer reality to video games, but at 4 AM it's hard to find a paintball game going on. Lately I livestream a lot, playing video games for an audience.
