The video game industry
Paper instructions:
The video game industry is constantly rocked by changes in the general environment. On one hand, technological shifts (from console games to games being played on handheld devices) are reducing the market size of the console industry, while game designers for smart phones see an opportunity. On the other hand, the consolidation of customer choice (a socio-cultural trend) produces a concentrated desire among people to play the same games, so some brands are blockbusters (like GTA or FIFA), while others struggle.

QUESTION 7
Jeana and Mary are sisters who attend Griffith and Bond. They had some success together as rap poets when they attended Marymount College, and have been offered a recording contract with Bob’s Best Rap and Stuff. To start off they agree to work on a week-long intensive recording session, and sign an agreement with Bob. Jeana doesn’t turn up until the third day of the recording sessions, but the sessions go well after that and they distribute some of the recordings, one of which turns out to be a huge hit. Bob refuses to pay Jeana her percentage of the profit because she didn’t turn up on time to the sessions. As the money starts to roll in and Mary decides to record on her own,Jeana tells Mary she can’t because they had a verbal agreement that they would work together and share all income from their rap poetry 50/50. To make matters worse, Bob demands a share because in their early discussions, Jeana and Mary had told Bob that if he helped them launch a viable career with their rap poetry, they would pay him 1% of their income for the next 5 years. Jeana knows you are taking business law and asks you for your opinion. Please identify the legal issues here and advise Jeana.
