Well, the ownership of the database IS the point of contention actually... The ORIGINAL member database was created by Roy Riggs for Willow, but (apparently) never given to her (though she thought so). The second database, the "current one" was also (if I understand correctly) created by Roy Riggs, who was working for EdgeNet (and not Dark Souls, Inc.) at the time he created it - though he created it specifically for Renderosity. The DATA belongs to Renderosity and thus Dark Souls (unless they were TRULY inept in creating their contract a year ago), if I understand the situation correctly, but the DataBase - the code for inputting, accessing and storing the data - is PROBABLY (I'd have to see licensing agreements etc. to be 100% sure) the property of EdgeNet. (The company I work for is going through a similar dispute, so I'll be watching what happens in both places with great interest, BTW).
