Three very good articles on legal issues, by lawyer Tom Buscaglia. Worth reading if you’re thinking about starting up a game project, or for correcting legal problems if you’re already underway. These articles give an introduction to US law in the areas of business models, copyrights, patents, trademarks, trade secrets, IP ownership, employee agreements and NDAs. Very readable!
