Preserving Digital Heritage: Challenge of Saving Classic Video Games and...

Reinhard von Hennigs discusses the importance of preserving digital video game heritage in an era of rapid technological advancement.

According to a Video Game History Foundation study, 87% of games released before 2010 are not commercially available, leading to cultural loss and potential legal challenges. Companies like Nintendo have tried to re-release older titles on newer systems, but these efforts are limited.

Significant legal issues surround intellectual property rights, licensing agreements, and jurisdictional questions related to digital preservation. The need for collective agreements to create and use game libraries is emphasized.

Reinhard draws parallels between the gaming industry and global business innovation, suggesting that companies balance tradition with innovation to maintain their core values while progressing forward.

Reinhard von Hennigs discusses President Donald Trump's executive order signed on March 1, 2025, designating English as the official language of the United States.

This order overturns a 2000 decision by President Clinton that required federal agencies to provide language assistance to non-English speakers.

The implications of this order are mainly relevant in federal government interactions, while companies may still use other languages for product liability warnings and compliance with state regulations. Multilingual communication strategies remain crucial for global growth and market diversity.

Corporate Transparency Act (CTA): Balancing Ethics, Compliance, and Data...

Reinhard von Hennigs explains the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), a law aimed at increasing corporate transparency to build trust in business transactions.

The CTA has faced multiple legal challenges and was recently suspended by the U.S. Department of the Treasury as of March 2nd, 2025. The act intended to collect beneficial ownership information to prevent fraud and enhance decision-making.

However, it raised concerns regarding data privacy and FinCEN's management of collected information. Reinhard argues for the need for unified global reporting standards and suggests that companies with inherent transparency practices are less affected by such regulations.
