A few years ago, my kid was heavily into the Fortnite video game. The game is a first-person shooter styled game, meaning you have the point of view of your player.

They are worried about their talents being used to create new works that they are not being compensated for. Well, if authors can take any comfort in the […]
It’s that time of year again – back to school.
