Gaming Centres Legal Issues

    Hi Everyone,

    Im sure a lot of people are becoming aware of the increasing popular gaming centres in Ireland that offer LAN gaming and video game consoles such as the PS3 and X-box 360 for commercial public use. I was just wondering if anyone has any insight as to how these owners of these gaming centres are going about obtaining software license agreements for PC games and usage rights for console based games.

    As far as I am aware console based games and in fact any games are only supposed to be used at homes and they all clearly state in the back of the games that they should only be used at homes unless granted permission otherwise.

    Does anyone have any information on this?

    You'd find us quite approachable - we're nice people ;)

    We're also currently compiling a partnership / franchise model for the Gamesnash Live concept so we'd be very interested in talking to like minded entrepenuers.
