The incentive program was created in 2005 by law RS 47:6022 aka the Louisiana Digital Media Act. The original program was to provide an incentive over six years on the development of digital interactive media products in the state of Louisiana. This program was to sunset by January 1, 2010.
This past session the program’s sunset was removed, the definitions were changed, the incentives were increased, and the administration of the program was revised. This past legislative session has left us with a completely different program to that of the one passed in 2005. Today, we will talk about our new program.

By Law:
"Digital interactive media" means products or platforms that are intended for commercial production, use, or distribution; that contain at least two of the following types of data: text, sound, fixed images, animated images, video, or 3D geometry; and that have all of the following three characteristics:
"Digital" means a system that uses discrete (discontinuous) values ordinarily symbolized numerically to represent information for input, processing, transmission, and storage. A digital system would be contrasted with an "analog" system, which uses a continuous range of values to represent information. The term "digital" includes, but is not limited to information input, processed, transmitted and stored via the Internet.
"Interactive" means a digital media system for inputting, processing, transmitting, or storing information or data in which users of the system are able to respond to the digital media system by inputting, transmitting, processing, or storing information or data in response to the information or data provided to them through the digital media system. "Digital media system" means communications delivered via electronic energy where the information stored, transmitted, or received is in digital form.
"Media" means communication tools used to store, transmit, distribute, and deliver information and data. The term "media" includes methods and mechanisms for information distribution through, but not limited to distributed networks, such as the Internet, and through compact disc, CD-ROM, various types of DVD, and other removable storage drives and devices.
