Business Agreement Question: I'm producing a multi-player video game.I own the LLC and all rights to the end product. All those who work with me are royalty oriented and committed to the LLC and its project by a signed agreement. I'm looking at extending an agreement to a talented programmer who wants to join our project under the existing arrangement. Unlike most every one else working with me, because of the nature of this persons work he'll need full access to the entire project. This means he will be able to download the entire project (31GB) to his home office in New Zealand.Our product is legally trademarked in the US and its concept copyrighted because of an accompanying novel being completed.

My question, will the protections of my royalty agreement protect my trademark and copyright even to a place as distant as New Zealand.

Any input on this matter is appreciated.



Incidentally, I have a person under the same agreement in Poland (3D character design) and Maldives (3D artist). Neither of these talented folks have access to the entire project, they provide content which my lead designer (Seattle) adds to the game.
