1) ICE owns the copyrights on Shadow World, not Terry.
Sorry, in Canada, even with a contract, the creator still has some lingering ownership (maybe not control or even money).
3) You cannot "dilute" copyright. You could, however, dilute Terry's vision.
There is a process called "dilution of copyright" also The Federal Dilution Statute, enacted 1995 (predominantly it deals with trademark but copyright is also mentioned) ... BUT, If ICE wants people to create, that pretty much trumps my entire point.
I just knew I should have read more before I posted. Sorry guys, in my industry we get picky about what happens with our products, design and work. I guess it taints my views more then I thought. I'll stop projecting now.
