    Tolkien has been dead for over 50 years and the last Lord of the Rings book, Return of the King, was published 69 years ago.

    Copyright should only cover 20 years, at most, in my opinion.

    Yikes. This dude fucked up and kept fucking up.

    Seems weird he’d have to destroy the work though

    he was kinda asking for it, i mean you dont sue amazon over copyright infringement on the copyright that they pretty clearly own.
