Seggie v. Roofdog Games Inc.: Who is the author of videogame software for copyright purposes?
Last December, the Quebec Superior Court issued its decision in Seggie v. Roofdog Games Inc.[1], in which it attempted to clarify the notion of co-authorship (and by implication, copyright ownership) of a videogame. This case marks the first time that the issue of authorship of a videogame was ever considered by a Canadian court (and one of the very few Canadian cases to consider authorship of software more generally).
