[Ready Player One] Are the Avatars of Players Using Licensed IPs violating copyright?

Does the Oasis get to license characters for player “custom” avatars, or do lawyers try to take down possible violations? Do players have any protection from lawsuits or copyright takedowns of custom content?

I haven't seen the movie, but in the book there would not be a single company who *wouldn't* license their IP to the Oasis. It's pretty much the one thing there is to do on Earth anymore. If you don't let players show episodes of old '80s shows on their custom TV feeds, no one's gonna watch em.
