  • Summary

  • In this first episode of GAME - Law & Business, Søren Lundgaard, CEO of Ghost Ship Games is visiting.
    We talk about one of their next games, and about the background for this particular game, that was initially a hobby project to teach Søren’s son about coding and creating his own games.

    We also discuss the range of copyright protection of a game (idea and expression), clones and genres. Some leading Danish court practice is referred to; The “Netto commercial” court case (U2014.888), that ruled a tv commercial concept (for the Danish supermarket chain, NETTO) as copyright protected. The case regarding the tv concept, “Who wants to be a millionaire” (U1999.1762) is not awarding copyright protection to the tv concept, that is considered a collection of ideas, but rather protection by the Danish Marketing Act.

    The episode was recorded September 18, 2023 and we touch on the “UNITY-gate”. UNITY on the same day apologized and announced its revised runtime fee.

    Please note that the series is in English language as this is customary in the (Danish) game development community; Please bear with us when we make mistakes and apply too little variation in our language.
