work created by another party. There's little doubt that a court would rule that your online assistant for an earlier verison of his game would affect the market both for later versions of his game as well as for online aids for it. You might want to look at the Avalon Hill versus Microprose battle over Civilization to see just how protracted this could get if somebody decided that there was real money involved.

Thanks for the advice. There is no real money involved as this is a very niche game. In fact, its so niche I really wonder if the 3rd party software house has done any market research.
