Blockbuster rents video games. Hollywood Video rents video games. GameFly rents video games. Mom and pop rental stores rent video games.
But my question is, do any of these businesses have to do anything in particular to be able to rent games?
Or could anybody rent a game?
Do you have to pay any kind of royalties or anything to the video game companies?
What about renting the actual game systems? Do you have to do anything special to be able to rent a video game system?
Or does one just need to pay for a game or a system, and then they are perfectly within their right to rent that game or system how they choose?
Are there any laws or govermental requirements in regards to renting games or systems?
Any licensing agreements or anything?
Any insight into this would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
