FAS' amp models are replicating amp manufacturer's products so accurately that I'm sure there will be some conflict in the future because FAS is essentially 'copying' their product. As a result, FAS is biting into the revenue of the amp manufacturers. It's only a matter of time before amp manufacturer's start to fight to 'get back' their piece of the pie. JMHO.
To your point - the same thing is happening here with live music at venues - and it is a double standard.
Where there's money, there will be conflict.
Actually, Line 6 and I believe Korg and a couple of others, already bit that bullet, and there are already legal standards in place that protect amp, and effect modeling. This is 100% why Cliff cannot simply call the JCM 800 a JCM 800, he uses code words.
I get what people are trying to say, but essentially, it all comes from a lack of truly understanding copyrights. It does not work the way most people think it does, most of the stuff you hear from people totally disregards what the laws actually say, and comes from "myths" created by the record industry (major labels) to scare people into not dealing with, so they can con you in some way. It works too.
