Keen IPKat readers will know that The IPKat
was born out of a wish to support and emulate the teaching and learning of
intellectual property law, including copyright law. Week in week out, its team
of Kats continue in their mission through their writing and celebrate the
initiatives of others who do the same. In this spirit, this post brings your
attention to the mini-series of short animated films ‘The Game is On!’
written and directed by Ronan Deazley and Bartolomeo Meletti, available
on the Copyrightuser.org.
The aim of their game? Teaching the vagaries and intricacies of copyright law
to school-aged children using animated films accompanied by ‘case files’ each dedicated to a different principle of
copyright law to support teachers on this journey. The ‘Game is On!’ is *not* a 'pro' copyright propaganda campaign.
Rather it aims to create a forum to discuss and challenge the rules provided by UK copyright law in an accessible manner.
Last week, ‘The Game is On!’ released the third episode of the series in which Sherlock Holmes and
John Watson are interrogated on their latest investigation into the
disappearance of a film star. The plot of this new episode invites the viewers
to discover the application of copyright law to films, focusing on documentaries, interviews, co-authorship, and performers to only name a few. This Kat was delighted to
The ‘Game
is on!’ will be useful to school teachers but also (and not least!) to all
readers whose relatives and family members of all ages remain slightly puzzled by your
passion for copyright. This series of animated films offers a playful and
stimulating introduction to the discipline – and comes highly recommended for
it!

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
