I still don't think they can sue for standard US copyright infringement. In Canada or Europe they would be able to assert moral authority over the use of their work, but US law doesn't recognize that right. That effective EULA makes this an interesting case. Since it wasn't part of a negotiated contract I guess it will be evaluated with compliance to common law. Could be fun.
