Hello everyone,
I'm new to this so I have some questions for the more legal savvy than me here
I'm currently writing a story for an adventure game. In my mind this story takes place in a existing-real world island. This includes stores, people and locations in that place. I wouldn't want to use the actual names of businesses in that place nor the actual names of people. But as far as locations are concerned I'll definitely want to use the actual naming. Is this possible? Could my business get in trouble by this? Could I get in trouble for similarities? Same business in same place , different name? (like a parody). Are there are any papers I can have people sign that will avoid me getting sued over this? (this is a small place, people might actually agree to be part of the game)
I hope I make sense!
Thank you for your time.
