    The author in question here was pretty shitty. He wrote his own sequel to called “Fellowship of the King”, and then sued Amazon and the Tolkien estate saying they stole elements from his book. He lost, and the Tolkien estate countersued.

    The guy played stupid games and won stupid prizes.

      Yeah, I read. I don’t have much sympathy for him. He sounds like a jerk.

      IMO preserving the content is more important than honoring him (or, for that matter, humiliating him).
