The State of Play: Law, Games and Virtual Worlds
Posted by Stewart Butterfield
(Disclosure: plugging a conference that two of us are speaking at.)
November 13th, 14th and 15th in New York City: a conference called State of Play: on Law, Games, and Virtual Worlds. It's sponsored by the Institute for Information Law and Policy at New York Law School and the Information Society Project at Yale Law School and has a truly incredible lineup of people — too many to mention them all by name, but Swami Shirky will be presenting along with many of my favorite designers and the theorists and academics doing the most interesting work in the space, including the whole cast of the recently launched Terra Nova site.
I'll be distributing a discussion paper and doing a presentation called Beyond the Body: Modeling Complex Group Interactions in an MMP Game and I'm particularly looking forward to Raph Koster's keynote. [Clay, if your title is announced, stick it here].
Registration cost is $150 for catering and includes "and covers all meals and entertainment listed on the conference program (Thursday dinner through Saturday lunch)".

Are there going to be videos or slides/audio of the presentations for those of us who cant attend?
(I'd pay *$200.00* for those)

I doubt that there will be sadly, though the papers will all be published in a special issue of the 'New York Law School Law Review' in early '04.
But since everyone is being organized into panels, and there will be a lot of discussion, I expect that some of the best stuff will be "live" only.
