ESA Releases 2009 Annual Report

By james_fudge

The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has released its annual report for 2009, detailing its activities issues affecting the computer and video game industry, including piracy, its efforts against attempts at content regulation, and intellectual property rights.

The 43-page report (available as a PDF - hope you have an hour or so to read it set aside) details all of the ESA's efforts throughout the year including various legal actions, lobbying efforts, its work on behalf of the ESRB with state and local governments, its continued fight against software piracy in the U.S. and abroad, and its efforts to get the video game industry tax incentives in various states.

Grab a beverage and your reading glasses. The report also includes a 6 page introduction from ESA president Michael D. Gallagher with an overview of the ESA's activity through the year. I recomend Mr. Gallagher's cliff notes.
