[...] RMT is inevitable. The real question is scope and scale of it, how damaging or beneficial it is to a given virtual world. Blanket proscriptions in a field where we have both Kart Rider and Second Life seem to me liable to catch up dolphins along with the tuna, so to speak. 댓글달기 http://www.raphkoster.com/2006/11/23/korea-goes-after-rmt/#comments CopyBot Redux, over on VentureBeat Raph 2006-11-24 02:41 작성 | Game talk Matt Marshall of VentureBeat asked me to write a brief article on the CopyBot thing, and here it is: Investing time and money in virtual worlds: Caveat Emptor. 댓글달기 http://www.raphkoster.com/2006/11/23/copybot-redux-over-on-venturebeat/#comments NPR : Makers of Gaming Systems Reach Out to Wider Audience Raph 2006-11-23 08:33 작성 | Game talk The audio is up for the NPR thing I did today: NPR : Makers of Gaming Systems Reach Out to Wider Audience. 댓글달기 http://www.raphkoster.com/2006/11/22/npr-makers-of-gaming-systems-reach-out-to-wider-audience/#comments Library of Congress likes retro games Raph 2006-11-23 07:53 작성 | Game talk There’s some new rules in town: the Library of Congress, based on recommendations from the Register of Copyrights, has decided that there are six new cases where circumventing the DMCA is OK for certain purposes.
