There is an easy way to solve this argument:
FACT: You can be sued for ANYTHING. It does NOT matter what ANYONE, even a lawyer tells you! If some company can afford to go after you and they think you might be in violation, they can sue you. PERIOD
Now... It becomes a battle of money... the man with the most money wins...
FACT #2: An S-Corp, Corp, or even an LLC does NOT protect your personal assets. A good lawyer (money again) will rip right through your LLC if they have the deisre and money to do it.
SO: Do whatever you can to prevent it. Even though LLC is NOT a sure fire protection of personal assets, it IS better than nothing. And when it comes to copyright and trademarks, use your god damn brain! You know damn well if you are trying to use a name and capitalize off it! Does your game have anything to do with Jeopardy? If it does, then you know god damn well that you would be an idiot to use it.
