X's attorneys

In a defamation lawsuit, whoever has to make good on what the court
decides.  Intellectual property (copyrighted material) has a value,
and "a judge can transfer intellectual property in a lawsuit..."

The fine X print suggests Jones has an intellectual property license,
and X's "consent is required for any assignment, sale or transfer of
an account."

I would say X's suit is frivolous...I don't believe X has a right to
control "assignment, sale or transfer of an account" when bankruptcy
is involved.  I suspect X put that stipulation there for making a buck

airwaves, although US free speech laws mean he would be free to set up
a new company and continue broadcasting even if his company were to be
liquidated.
