Broadcasting & OTT Part 1: The Piracy Issue & a Technological Response

Broadcasting & OTT Part 2: Demographic Change, Micropayments and Piracy

The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a bright light on the already fast-growing esports industry. With traditional sports, non-endemic brands and a range of broadcasters becoming increasingly tuned in to the opportunities that esports presents, our international sports and esports team – together with Sean Zhang, CEO of pro team PSG Talon Esports – examine in a podcast a range of regulatory and commercial issues to consider when embarking on a new esports venture. We cover rules and regulations, digital doping, safeguarding, corruption, broadcasting, sponsorship and player contracts in a wide-ranging discussion aimed both at those already experienced in esports, and those more familiar with the traditional sports world taking their first steps into this exciting and dynamic industry
