    bit late on this one but usually as long as the original author is referenced and the details of the proceedings given you can freely quote.

    You can also photocopy within current copyright limitations (these limits are usually posted up by the photocopiers in every university!) to circulate for educational and not for profit purposes..

    there are some grey areas in there but just remember to quote the source..

    you probably had more of a chance of doing game related stuff in the School of Communications than in Computing in DCU..at least over the past few years..

    I think the design of the new XBox is interesting. Some of my female interviewees found the original XBox design incredibly masculine in terms of shape and colour and to me the new design may be attempting to address that in a subtle way.

    Also the large XBox controller used to give me hand cramp cause it was just too big…things any savy tech designer would consider..

    also a number of industry bodies in the UK games industry have been lobbying against these laws saying they will make the UK games industry less competitive..I know of at least a couple who were looking to get a UK derogation…not sure what happened there but they were certainly lobbying against it..

    as for the Republic…the usual strategy is to ignore such things….unless the unions say something…unions, in the games industry??
