GB virtual leveled Pokemon APs demand in the real world - Orlando Sentinel

have the Pokémon Go players adorn your garden or your company looking for virtual humans invaded? Do you think that happened? Some owners do. As reported by the Wall Street Journal, a federal judge will decide whether to violate a lawsuit forward, can go to support the game developers, the laws of guilt and neglect. The problem is software that users in certain locations sends. For more information on the law and the implications of the study, the editorial Orlando Sentinel dedicated to Shawn Bayern , Jura - Professor at Florida State University.

Q: You described the law as a very chaotic, and that each state operates differently. What is the law of different Florida?

A: Not that Florida is different from a systematic manner. It's just that the law on things like the "transgression" and "harassment" can be very messy, and states often differ in the details. If I had to make a general statement, it is often difficult for applicants as to gain responsibility in Florida in other states. Other states legal doctrines have developed in the last 50 years, are more protective of the applicants.

Q: - describes the case of the residents of the towns of Positano in South - Florida presented?

A: Essentially, his argument is that the players have their Pokémon Go app property, causing damage and loss of "use and use" of the property. There are a variety of ways to make this argument under the law, but personally think that are "neglecting" the most attractive.

If you generalize a bit, you can by the argument, think as follows: We all know that if you drive a truck with negligence and damage to property, make the law pay. So if you make an application without care design and the same kind of damage? They should be responsible for this?

is a big difference with careless application that the damage is less "direct"; It is the others who do not control. But the law already recognizes many situations that may be responsible for sloppy situations that make it more likely that other people injured. For example, a house could be responsible for the adoption of lax safety practices, the risk of crime in order to increase its inhabitants. In one case in California, a radio station with a young officer when they conducted a contest that drivers of road vehicles, the first to find a wick that had a mobile radio transmitter, and some young drivers encourages an accident as a result. I can imagine cases of future applications fairly similar to light.

Q: - it concluded that Niantic realistic movements of real life Pokemon Go - Players can control?

A: The reason why I think "negligence" law that makes more sense here is that it is not strictly controlled. Obviously, if application developers deliberately cause others to commit the offense, it is not. But the creator of an application can still progress to overlook others in harmful or dangerous way to act, but without thinking about how to build the application. In short, you should not be able to control each person to a court to find that you acted unreasonably create a risk of harm or danger.

It should be added that an application machine can be neglected yet, even if it is the player to sign a form, they do not commit to something illegal to transfer or do, because I know that the accused did believe. In general negligence law is generally conduct of the defendant. It may be a good idea to tell the players to safely conduct, but that should be protected no magic formula to when it has been otherwise overlooked when creating a game from liability.

Q: What are the wider implications for the Playmaker or other software that users are sent to specific locations? What would be the practical effect of the rule of technology and players against Niantic Gaming?

A: Of course, everyone likes the statutory provisions which they free themselves from possible liability. This will give you peace and prevents them from having to pay unreasonable to ward off lawsuits. But negligence law requires is generally behaving sensibly. In other words, the problem is not the publication of an application that people go to a specific location told; the problem is to do it in a way that people or property can harm without justification.

Made progress in technology and software - laws - or judgments: Q? What advice would you legislator from Florida legislate update blame? Should cover physical or virtual intrusion?

A: One good thing about customary law - as the judges respond to new cases and extend the existing teachings - is that it can be very flexible. The judges must always be open to adapt new ways of existing advances in technology in the implementation of teaching. In this case, the law of negligence is a very adaptable tool. If our rule is "if you act irrationally and cause serious injury or injuries as a result, you have to pay for it" that seem to spread very well in at least some new technologies.

I would be more skeptical about the need for the time being, applications that are more like "virtual transgression. "If a game wants to leave, that I wander around a card and pretend to go on the property of another, as I sit in at home, that should be no problem. The problem is that an application can cause damage to the real world, and the damage is no less real, just because it is caused by a third player to play.

Of course there are many virtual environments where things are very valuable in itself. For example, my opinion is that in the "real estate" in the game there games - pure virtual property - sold large amounts of dollars in the real world. could protect these virtual goods a major problem in the future was right.
