As part of this goal Daily to Seoul and Beyond for greater inclusivity, in 2016 the main direction of the festival was tweaked to allow a broader, more diverse range of Korean films to be shown. With special themes exploring different subjects, the popular strands covering everything from box office hits to Korean classics, as well as monthly teaser screenings, the festival has continued to find new audiences for Korean cinema. This year the festival once again works with critics, academics and visiting programmers on each strand of the festival and has partnered with several university film departments as well. At the time of writing, this year’s festival will screen upwards of 55 films, with a special focus entitled ‘A Slice of Everyday Life’. This will include the opening and closing films, Microhabitat by Jeon Go-woon, and The Return by Malene Choi.

  • An Antitrust Analysis of Esports
    Tiebreaker: An Antitrust Analysis of Esports MAX MIROFF* Electronic sports (esports) offers a novel case study in how antitrust analysis should approach multi-sided markets that rely on the ability of numerous entities to access intellectual property (IP). A game publisher’s IP in its game allows for permissible monopolization, but also creates opportunities for anticompetitive IP misuse. Tournament organizers, teams, players, broadcasters, spectators, and advertisers all need access to publishers’ IP to participate in esports markets. As publishers vertically integrate into the downstream market for esports content in their games, they rationally seek to minimize competitive pressure from other entities in the market. A publisher can do this by using its IP monopoly in its game to dominate the downstream esports market in its game by, for example, refusing to license broadcast rights to independent tournament organizers. This Note argues that in order to promote consumer welfare through market competition, antitrust law should restrict game publishers from using IP rights in their games to monopolize the downstream esports market for those games. Because multi-sided markets which rely on access to IP and blur the lines between producer, intermediary, and consumer are likely to grow, the stakes for effective antitrust analysis in these markets will only continue to climb. Part I introduces the esports industry and overviews how antitrust law can be used to shape more competitive markets for the benefit of esports consumers. Part II provides an economic analysis of esports in order to define antitrust-relevant esports markets in which enforcement could be appropriate. Part III outlines the structure of a tying claim against publishers that use their IP monopoly over their games to acquire or maintain a monopoly over esports content produced with their games.

  • On the Digital Playing Field: How We ''Do Sport'' with Networked
    Games and Culture 7(5) 349-374 ª The Author(s) 2012 On the Digital Reprints and permission: sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1555412012454222 Playing Field: How http://gac.sagepub.com We ‘‘Do Sport’’ With Networked Computer Games Emma Witkowski1 Abstract In the following article, the author explores the notion of playing computer games as sports by sketching out the labors and sensations of Counter-Strike teams playing at pro/am e-sports local area network (LAN) tournaments. How players are engaged physically in practice and play is described in this qualitative study through the core themes of movement, haptic engagement, and the balanced body. Furthermore, the research describes how technologies in play are laboring actors too; the players and technologies in this study are rendered as networked, extended, and acting in and on the same fields of play. In asking is there a ‘‘sport’’ in e-sports, this study questions the legitimacy of a traditional sports ontology and simultaneously tackles the notion of engagement with computer game play as a legitimate sporting endeavor. Keywords e-sports, physicality, haptic engagement, movement, balance, Counter-Strike 1IT University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Corresponding Author: Emma Witkowski, IT University of Copenhagen, Rued Langgaards Vej 7, Copenhagen, 2300, Denmark Email: [email protected] 350 Games and Culture 7(5) Introduction ‘‘Fun and challenging,’’ ‘‘adrenalin,’’ ‘‘competition,’’ ‘‘adrenalin,’’ and ‘‘adrenalin’’; these first, short-winded, explanations on motivation were made by five teammates talking about why they play their sport.
