I am currently a second year law student at the University of Virginia. At the moment, in addition to a couple game projects I'm working on with friends, I'm working on a paper about the impact of (and threat of) copyright litigation in the games industry. I hope to put my law degree to use with games, because my brief time with law has shown me that you really want to be doing something you enjoy in twenty years. I'll be starting a larger blog soon, but until now, when I have something I think is worth your time, I'll post it here.

That said, I'm pretty sure there are economists out there who would not sign off on the you're stupid if you don't pirate proposition. Maybe I'm wrong, ... |

There's nothing wrong with releasing ... There's nothing wrong with releasing an adult game free of gore and swearing. There's, if anything, a clear need for them.
