Improving the Game Industry Act as seen by the 4th Industrial -Industrial Convergence Law Society

The Fourth Mountain Industry Convergence Law Society (Professor, Sejong University Law, Sejong University) discussed the direction of improvement of the Game Industry Law, which was presented by lawmaker Lee Pantheon at the Susan Information Industry Promotion Agency on the 17th of the G-Star period. The Fourth Industrial Reinforcement Convergence Law Society is the first national academic organization established by experts in law, science and technology, and industrial sectors for the first time in Korea.

Attorney Lee One-stop (Insight) (Insight), the main contents of the lawmakers, △ adding probability-type item definition and related regulations △ adding the contents of the protection of game users, △ strengthening regulations related to meandering and advertising, △ Improvement of terms of terminology and inefficient and irrational system for the current situation △ It was selected as an additional support for the game industry promotion.

The lawyer pointed out that the business model is one of the reasons for causing meandering, excessive entry, and excessive consumption. did. Complete Geisha models and probability-type items with extreme low probability should be prohibited.

Regarding the classification, the lawyer said, Considering that the game is a kind of culture and arts, it is desirable for the government to leave it to the private sector instead of the government and have serious problems with the private work process.

The lawyer stressed that it is necessary to legally guarantee the interests of game users. This is because the relationship between users and game companies is much greater than the relationship between individuals and governments in reality. The lawyer said, The government is superior to individuals, but not omnipotent, but in the game, the game company is omnipotent to users. The protection of rights should be done.

Lee Seung-hyun, head of the Korea Intellectual Property Research Institute's Strategic Planning Team, said in the game industry to protect intellectual property rights, In the process of classification, I need to use intellectual property professionals and add information for intellectual property protection (Article 13) during the survey of the game industry. I recommend it. The law should be notified to the National Intellectual Property Commission of major policies and plans when the relevant law is revised.

Attorney Kim Woon-yong (Jason) pinched the self-regulation that the game company applied to the probability-type item business model. For example, some game companies point out that self-regulation is avoided in a manner initially indicating only the probability of the mountain box and not indicating the additional probability later. The Korean game industry has excellent business models, and it is true that it has grown a lot, but there is a critical view of what cultural and artistic achievements have been achieved with these profits.

The games produced in Korea are MMORPG formats or mobile games, and most types of games that recover development funds in the short term, he said. I added.

The society also pointed out the NFT of game items. The issue is whether the NFT can be issued and distributed as a means of guaranteeing item-related rights related to game users.

Attorney Nawangyoung (TESSA Compliance Support Office) said, It is unclean that the blockchain technology that is currently asserted as the characteristics of Web 3.0 and the business that applied it showed its appearance in our society. It's located. It's been embodied as a guarantee of crab game items, and it's clear that the use of NFT as a means is somewhat effective.

However, game items NFT shoes are unlikely to be limited due to the walls of existing industrial regulations such as virtual asset regulations and securities regulations, and business companies such as game developers have violated such regulations before issuing and distributing game items NFT. We need to look closely at whether it will be.

Professor Lee Jungkook (Chung-Ang University Graduate School of Law) said, If you are directly exchanged in the game service, you will not be able to escape the category of meandering judgment if it is recognized as a property, but it is temporarily in the judgment of gambling or deliberation under criminal law. If it's only entertainment, it is necessary to admit the exception, he said. It is necessary to keep this applied service to continue.

Professor Lee Jungkook added that various methods can be reviewed by limiting the number of transactions and numbers, providing information on the transactions of users, and providing information on users' transaction details. Professor Lee Jungkook emphasized, The government, academia and industry should discuss together for the ecosystem where a healthy virtual economy can be established while preventing the game of the game.

Professor Chung Jung-won (Department of Police Administration, Daegu Catholic University) said, As the development of various technologies that can be used for the formation of virtual space in the future, the meta bus phenomenon can also be beyond our imagination. The anger is also expected to be generated in a variety of forms and significant levels as the metals phenomenon accelerates and becomes more common.

Professor Chung emphasized the need for clarification of the related concepts. For example, 'blockchain game' pointed out that blockchain technology is used in the game, and it is difficult to see a new type of game. Regarding the P2E game, it is understood that the NFT created by the user in the use of the game means that it means a game that has the possibility that the parties can acquire economic value through social rights transfer (transactions).

Professor Chung Jung-won is a prerequisite for NFT in the use of NFT, △ NFT's normative status clarification, △ NFT issuance of NFT, △ Normal personality clarification of the transfer of rights produced by NFT (transaction, etc.) △ FT and NFT of FT and NFT It emphasized the clarification of the relevant ministry according to the phase.

Professor Yang Chunks (Graduate School of Law, Yunnan University) presented the necessity of expanding the rights objects of our civil law. I think it's time to reorganize the object regulations of our civil law, he said. This is because they cannot respond appropriately to new rights objects such as data and game items.

Dr. King Jimmying (Democratic Citizenship Education Division, Gangnam Office of Education) emphasizes that it should not be missed in the revision of the Game Industry Act. He said, The perception of the virtual space of the youth, the damage and influence of problems in the event of a problem dominates the real world, he said. It is not an inhibitor of the game, but it is an area that should not be neglected or overlooked because it is a process of fostering the game industry workers and fostering a healthy game user culture.
