Esports Connected: The Legal Mistakes That Can Be Costly For Gamers Esports Connected With Megan Van Petten

    • Technology

For most gamers, streamers, and casters, things can change overnight. Good results in an international tournament could change a gamer's life by getting them millions of visits to their social media channels, and in case something like that happens, there are certain things they need to have in place. For instance, gamers should check if the name they are building is already taken. 
Our guest, Justin Jacobson, is the go-to person to take care of those and other hundreds of details gamers should take care of before it is too late and they find roadblocks in their career paths. 
Justin Jacobson is an Entertainment and Esports Attorney, Professor, host of the Esports Biz Show podcast, and Author of "The Essential Guide to the Business & Law of Esports & Professional Video Gaming." Justin has over a decade of experience working with celebrities, athletes, musicians, producers, songwriters, DJs, professional gamers, streamers, content creators, and coaches. He secured agreements with giants of the entertainment industry like Viacom, Netflix, and Universal Music, to name some of them. 
In this episode, we delve into some details most gamers tend to leave aside or pay attention when it's too late. We talk about how legal restrictions, contracts, and agreements get even more complicated in the gaming industry, where many rising stars or established creators are underage kids streaming from their houses. We also talk about why gamers, streamers, and casters should pay attention to the PR, the legal and the financial aspects of their careers, Justin's understanding of the entertainment world, and more.
