Stop berating me for not watching enough TV you guise! :bawl:

I think the case can be dropped in exchange for Jon Stewart appearing in EVE promotional materials, yes?

Only Caldari could fund such a painfully corporate and mass produced station, it all fits!

I'd watch the hell out of Colbert 'explaining' Eve though.

This would actually be a 'trademark' case, not a copyright case.  :D

Is the caldari state logo trademarked though, or just the Eve/Dust/WOD/CCP logos?

I think the point is that it would be possibly covered by trademark law rather than copyright.
