[d. michelle hinn]

ah yes, more good links! yes, the more additional 
links we have for non-US laws will only help! as 
many of us US people found out last week...lots 
more accessibility legislation for electronic 
resources on the table in Europe than we have 
here at the moment.

>Hey Gang

>Thanks for letting me participate at the GA

>eye opener for me.  As some of you may know, I 
>do a monthly Game Law feature for Gamasutra.com. 
>My next article will be on Accessibility in 
>Games.  (Universal ??? - whatever that positive 
>term of art was).
>
>Anyway, if you have some sites that you would 
>like me to consider mentioning in the article, 
>let me have em.  Since it is a Law column I 
>intend to focus on 508, tax credits and ADA 
>issues with games in public places.  May help 
>raise awareness.
