A regularização dos esportes eletrônicos e as controvérsias jurídicas

Abstract

Initially, the purpose of the monograph was to establish, briefly, an overview, mainly legal, of the conceptualization of electronic sports and its operation in Brazil, addressing the main legislations that are currently used in the various situations of this unique niche. In addition, another objective was to understand whether or not there is a need for specific legislation, since there are some gaps in this matter in the Brazilian legal system, as it is a recent and constantly changing legal fact. Thus, the main methods used were based on a research of exploratory approach, qualitative and bibliographic, through articles of the legal normative system, scientific articles and monographs, books, among others. The result reached was that, although it is fully possible to use the current legislation to regulate electronic sports, there are still problems that are and/or are not related to the lack of specific legislation. However, the regulation itself brings with it new legal controversies, such as the lack of knowledge of the legislative branch about the theme, which triggers a negative interference to the e-sports ecosystem. It is inferred, therefore, the importance of a broad and deep study prior to the regulation and enforcement of laws concerning esports.
