Indie dev legal help: Help these guys out!
polycounter lvl 19
Hi my polycount compadres!!
So, these guys: http://www.indiegogo.com/newmediarightsgames are a nonprofit that offers free legal support to game developers.
They do pro-bono (free) lawyer-y things like representing small devs in cases and advising people about whether or not threats from bigger 'bully' companies are legit, but they also put out a nice series of free videos that go over a lot of legal questions that developers might have regarding copyright, trademarks, contracts, fair usage, etc.
They also have interviews (also free) with a lot of devs: Gabe Newell, Ed McMillen, that guy from Super Crate Box, etc. (here's their youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/newmediarightsstudio/videos?flow=grid&view=1)
They'd like to make more of these videos, but they need help.
If you have a moment, please donate to help them make more of these little vids. They are down to the last [EDIT:hours] of their indiegogo campaign, and they have a long way to go still.

Just as important: tweet, post to facebook, etc. and help get other devs behind them.
I know I've found their videos to be clear, concise, and invaluable, and I'd love to be able to help them in return.
Thanks guys!
