Sounds like they are claiming to have first say in matters regarding this novel. I don't if it's something about the name or this company is just one of those grifter entities that make money entirely from predatory legal actions. Ok, I'm looking the term up on Wikipedia, according to it...

Hell, there's plenty of stories where I've identified with the villains, granted it's usually with the big franchise, corporate own, written by a committee type of stuff where the villains are actually written very well so I begin to think to myself 'if it wasn't for this one atrocity or the...
