So I can't use player names
What if I manipulated names slightly? I'm sure you've all heard of the football David Beckham. So David Beckham would be something like David Beckam or David Backham.
Would this be legal and if so, what defines whether the name has been altered enough?
It seems like if I'm not careful I could release this game and have a whole bunch of law suits on my case.
My last legal question is whether, if a law suit does knock on your door, whether you, as the creator of the game, hold the right to take the game off the market before they sue. By this I mean they can't just go and sue you. They must first ask you to take the game off the market and only then if you refuse, can they sue.
