Shurtleff Says Video Game Rating help Parents Decide
Attorney General Mark Shurtleff and Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) President Patricia E. Vance launched a new public service announcement (PSA) campaign today to encourage parents to use video game ratings to decide whether a game is appropriate for their children and family. The television and radio ads will begin running in Utah in the coming weeks.
"As a father, I know about the tough decisions parents face over what video games they will allow into their homes. It's important for parents to look closely at the ESRB ratings before letting their kids play any game," says Shurtleff. "As a fan of video games myself, I'm proud to be helping educate Utah's parents about this important tool."
The ESRB video game ratings employ a two-part system. Rating symbols on the front of the game package provide an age recommendation, such as EC (Early Childhood 3+), E (Everyone 6+), E10+ (Everyone 10 and up), T (Teen 13+) and M (Mature 17+). The back of the package has content descriptions next to the rating that explain what may have triggered the rating or may be of interest or concern to parents. Read more at attorneygeneral.utah.gov
The title of Option is a defined factor
When a creative entity, such as producer, artist, or studio, discovers a property and evaluates the rights status, they will, in most cases, attempt to negotiate an 'option' for the rights. An option is the right to acquire ownership of an intellectual property for a pre-determined amount of time. Size of the option payment often determines length of the agreement as well as how many forms of the rights will be included in the deal. While most option payments are subject to negotiation, script deals often work out to an even percentage of the purchase price.

Although they have the ability to bring a significant amount of a movie's budget, financiers are often money people looking at the bottom line - does the project have marketable elements already in place? Unlike most developing studios, these money sources move from script to screen quickly, however, most of the initial footwork must already have been done.
