You have presented the legal view. I accept that, and will not be challenging you on the legal stuff.

However, I am presenting an economic view. Time Warner Inc. is known for having "silos". That is to say, its executives have carved out fiefdoms for themselves, and guard these fiefdoms jealously. Driven by selfish economic interest, these "warlords" aren't exactly chummy with the other warlords. If they can carve out a bigger piece of the pie (i.e. charge use fees for their characters from a division ran by another warlord), they most certainly will.

Yes, we know that it is in Time Warner's best interest to provide their properties with adequate exposure, as it will increase their overall value. But alas, office politics.
