Direito autoral e jogos digitais: uma análise jurídica acerca do direito autoral dos jogos digitais no direito brasileiro

Abstract

This monograph aims to bring a legal analysis inherent to the industrial property of digital games, focusing on Brazilian law. As is well known, technologies are constantly evolving and in this bay, it is urgent that Law accompany such a revolution. Thus, the same happened with electronic games. Therefore, it is imperative that the Law needed to expand and protect not only the industrial product, but also all those who were somehow involved with its development. In this way, every type of attribute inherent to digital games is supported by intellectual property and, consequently, by copyright. With the growth of social media and its ease of sharing information and files, the need arose to preserve electronic games from possible copies, undue transmission and other problems regarding their content. Therefore, it is only fair that the producers, as well as the product developed, are protected from such problems and, if they do occur, that they are regularly supported by legislation. It is then concluded that this work will focus on presenting how intellectual property and the legal system gives protection to electronic game productions, as well as exposing the need for a specific typification for its protection and other legislation applied to the copyright of games.
