This is an interesting subject. I only know of copywrite law from watching it in action in other forms of entertainment but...…
Loramin- Let's say you have 2 entertainers. By some crazy chance they use the same name and the same act. If 1 trademarks it and the other keeps doing it, isn't it infringement of copywrite? Despite the idea that they were independently created? Who owns the everquest IP? You think daybreak won't be able to argue in court that p99 has created a bootleg copy of daybreaks IP despite the fact that a lot of it was independently created?
Why I think the new investors may be forced to act is that I know IP law is very much "defend it or lose it". Like if daybreak doesn't defend their IP in court, they are liable to lose it completely and have 100s of EQemus for profit out there and they won't be able to do anything.
