Pokémon isn’t new, but the phenomenon surrounding the release of the franchise’s latest installment, Pokémon Go, is unprecedented. The game has taken its existing base of nostalgic 90s kids and captured a far wider audience who, until recently, couldn’t tell a Diglett from a hole in the ground.
But the massively popular game is also generating a lot of legal scrutiny. Elie and I had a chat with Drew Rossow of the law office of Gregory M. Gantt in Dayton, Ohio, and author of Gotta Catch… A Lawsuit? about the legal challenges surrounding Pokémon Go.
It’s worth noting that technology moves fast, and since recording this episode, Niantic has released updates via Pokemon Go that have begun to address how both players and businesses can “opt out” and “opt into” the game, along with addressing some safety concerns with more interactive disclaimers.
