I think that it wouldn't be too difficult for the owners of the copyrights to prove should they chose to do so- kinda like the case with Under Pressure/Ice Ice Baby.

Point is, I think SE recognizes that barding is pretty harmless, and draws folks together, which is exactly why people complaining about it at all baffles me. What's the advantage to be had here? Loot, titles? Nah. Glory stealing from "real" bards? I mean, it seems a pretty petty issue to even complain about.
