Abstract

The chapter delves into the intricate challenges of classifying digital cultural products, such as video games, under WTO law. It discusses the relevance of this classification for trade negotiations and the application of WTO rules. The author explores two main challenges: the ‘good or service’ dichotomy and the outdated service classification system. Using a case study of video games, the chapter suggests that the current classification system is inadequate and proposes the adoption of a ‘cluster approach’ to advance negotiations. The chapter also highlights the need for a more detailed and updated classification system to address the evolving nature of digital cultural products.
