I suspect that a deep read of DTRPG would turn up a veritable cornucopia of copyright infringement, some purposeful, most probably done in ignorance.

Heck, there's probably good copyright policing business to be done on Kickstarter.

Kickstarter also has the wild-to-me phenomenon of people deciding every few months that WotC doesn't care about trademarks like "Fiend Folio" or "The Dancing Hut of Baba Yaga."

Ditto people using Nintendo IP, etc.
