Copyright, Contract, and Video Games
Terms of Play
Amy Thomas
This book uncovers
how video game contracts act as monologues of power, moulding players to align
with proprietary ideologies.
In the era of
interactive technologies, the player emerges as a vital yet curiously
overlooked figure. While copyright law governs the creation and distribution of
these technologies, it sidesteps the player, leaving private contracts to
define their role and obligations. Using video games as a case study, this book
fills the gap left by copyright law, offering an innovative socio-legal
methodology to interrogate and challenge harmful contractual norms.
Amy Thomas is Lecturer in Intellectual Property and Information
Law at the University of Glasgow, UK.

Non-Compensatory Damages in English Law
A Reinterpretation
Václav Janeček
This book gives the
first detailed analysis of non-compensatory damages (‘NCDs’) as a category in
English tort and contract law.
The book argues that
most NCD awards are defined as those justified by damage to public interests
and that they are in contrast to compensatory awards. The author argues that
NCDs should be treated as a distinct class of awards. It shows how such a collective
approach could be implemented in practice, without compromising the core tenets
of the doctrines governing the award of NCDs. Offering both a unique
theoretical framework and an emphasis on practical application, this will be of
interest to both scholars and practitioners of English private law.
Václav Janeček is a Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of
Bristol, UK.

Wayne Courtney
This much welcomed
second edition examines all recent developments in the field of contractual
indemnities.
The first edition of
this landmark text provided a coherent theory of the promise of indemnity while
also addressing important practical issues, such as the construction of
contractual indemnities. This new edition retains its hallmark dual
perspective: setting out the foundational general principles and exploring
specific forms of indemnity.
The new edition also
explores illegality post Patel v Mirza; extends the discussion of
implied indemnities; examines the impact of Woods v Capita Insurances
Services Ltd; and looks at performance bonds, guarantees and indemnities.
The book states English law but it draws upon a considerable amount of material
from other common law jurisdictions, including Australia, Canada, New Zealand
and Singapore. It will appeal to readers from those countries.
Wayne Courtney is Professor of Law at the National University of
Singapore.

Public Procurement and Contract Law
Exploring Intersections, Defining Boundaries
Edited by Marta Andhov, Michal Kania and Sylvie Cécile Cavaleri
This open access anthology explores intersections and boundaries between
public procurement and contract law, examining how these legal regimes diverge,
influence, and occasionally overlap during the performance stage of public
contracts.
Part 1 introduces the topic, covering regulatory models for public
contracts from procurement and contract law perspectives. Part 2 examines
general issues such as legal review asymmetries, tacit modifications, due
diligence, loyalty obligations, and the doctrine of hardship under EU law. Part
3 explores contemporary challenges, including digitalisation and
sustainability. Part 4 analyses arbitration in public contract disputes.
This book is an essential resource for scholars, lawyers, practitioners,
policymakers, and students, providing analytical depth and practical guidance
to help navigate the complexities of public contracts.
The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC
BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

School, University of Auckland, New Zealand, and Affiliated Associate
