to clarify why i said they will make you look stupid in court. If you go after the "wrong" person for copyright violations, court is where you are GONNA end up over a frivilous claim that they are saying you are making for using your name, thats when they will try to make you look like a fool. Look, and this is just my opinion, we keep saying we wanna stay away from arguing with these people, and using a tradename or copyright name doesnt ADDRESS the issue that is involved when they are using your name and opens up a side track discussion in which you give them the opportunity to argue about the validadity of your copyright, vs the issue that started the mess. Im personally staying with contracting them to honor the law and hammer them for violating the law by contract vs the stuff about strawman copyright, it just gives them the door they need to argue and print your name in the paper as the kook who copyrighted his name.
