Yes, they formed the band
Does it matter if someone likes it or not?
no, it's THEIR band, and THEY have the right to name it

Using for what?
For the tour - no, IMHO. In other cases - could be yes. Anyway John have let them use it, Freddie can't be asked if he's agree or not, so - let 'em do what they want, you still can have your own opinion and the right to say what you think about what they're doing.

Sure. Freddie's dead and I haven't heard of John objecting. Roger and Brian put in the years of work helping to make Queen what it was/is. They have every right as long as there aren't objections from Freddie's estate or John.
When it comes to the current 'STYX' however, that's a different story. They have no right to be pretending to be STYX without Dennis DeYoung. It's very sad. If Dennis had agreed to leave or died, fine.. but I don't believe that was the case.

if there just called themselves Queen then not really but since there called themselves Queen+Paul Rogers then YES
Yes.
Look, when i heard about the tour i felt exactly as you do, but i tried to analise the question like this:
1) It`s just a name (a very strong one, that seems to bring many emotions to their fans);
2) It´S their band, not ours. It was Freddie`s idea to call them Queen, but they all helped to built that name. Even if you don`t agree with this point, just think like this:
- No one wanted that name for a start, just Freddie, so, no matter what name they could have choosen, in the end that was the name they would be touring with now.
So, it`s not really a question about who`s idea was to choose Queen name. Freddie had a vision and they have all agreed to built his dream toghether. When he died they were left without a band at the ages of 41 to 44 years old. They were too young to stop, and too old to start another project.
3) Who am i to judge their lives?- They do what is best for them or what it feels good to them.
Whether we like it or not, it was Freddie`s lifestyle that brought an end to his life, and consequently, to his band. Because of his choises Brian, Roger and John were left without a band and for almost 14 years they didn`t tour as band and were left with phsichologic scars because they had to deal with the image of seeng Freddie dying a little every day and could do nothing to help him.
We all have problems, but do you think Freddie`s choises in the past showed respect to the band, and to those around him? (think about that for a moment): He didn`t care about his future, as you can read on several books, he was a self-destructive person!
4) This is the strongest reason: No matter what they do now, there`s no way they can denegrate Queen`s past. Nothing!
Freddies and Queen legacy will live forever. Think about this for a moment!
Is there anything that they could do that could erase their past as one of the greatest bands ever?! My answer: no, they can`t!
They could even release a CD just with flarts (with good flarts harmonisation by Brian), still they would be remembered as the greatest ever.
But we all now that this ain`t going to happen, because they are all great musician and in my opinion they have matured so much that it`s impossible for them to release a bad album. If they want, they can easily release one of the best Queen albums ever (not recreating those heavilly produced 70`s albums) but pure Rock`n`Roll. The diference is just Freddie`s not there to sing the songs, but if you listen to Paul`s voice without pre-conceived ideas you`ll notice that he really has a beautifull strong voice.
And there`s no way you can say Freddie was great and Paul sucks. No way. Forget that he`s in Queen now, and analyse him simply for what he is.
Take Care, and enjoy the band because ten years from now there will be no Queen and will never be again. We are fortunate enough to live at the same live period as their`s. To me, this is the equivalent to live the same time as Mozart or Bach!
In years to come, the only thing that people can do is wonder how it was! The same thing i do when i`m watching Wembley! But at least i saw 50% in Lisbon and it was GREAT!
