Legal Question in Entertainment Law in Canada

Entertainment - Video Gaming
I'm planning on hosting regular video
game tournaments. The series of
tournaments will be for profit, albeit
meagre.I have a two part question.
First, I 'm sure I need some kind of
commercial license agreement to
hold this kind of tournament.
However i read online that
purchasing the game was license,
although i don't believe this to be
true. I was just hoping to get this
confirmed. Second, who should I be
requesting this license from? Would
it be a game developer, publisher or
both?

Re: Entertainment - Video Gaming

I assume you will you be hosting these games online?

Practically all software is sold under license - for example when you buy Microsoft Office you are purchasing a license to use the software.

If you are using gaming software you will need to comply with the terms of that software license.
