You know, this was all cleared up in about 1984 when Alice Cooper sued his label and past band members for the right to use the name Alice Cooper. Law is pretty clear. Companies can brand images and logos but not people, even if the person is using an assumed name. As long as that person is closely associated with a non-de-plum moreso than the corporate image. Even if Tera Patrick's name was created by DP, (which I highly doubt) they have no rights to it anymore than Paramount pictures could force an actor named Charles Buchinski to change his name back when his contract expired


That's Charles Bronson by the way
