A few years ago a friend
of mine set up an Internet trivia game that
used
the Jeopardy! format and even the Jeopardy name.
After it was
written up in a national newspaper, he
got a nasty letter from lawyers
for Sony (yes,
Sony). Once he changed the name and slightly
modified
the format of the game, he didn't hear from them
again. But the
allegations against Questions
Unlimited look far more serious.

Since we don't know anything else about these people,
how do any of
these characteristics disqualify
them as being members of what can
reasonably be
called a "crack team of professionals"?
