Oh noes, lawyers and accountants are using their powers for evil, with Tolkien and his heirs as the victims.

But who in the world uses "Lord" as a short name? Are we calling them "Harry" now, too?

I dunno, I think I'd rather see the estate get its royalties at the cost of The Hobbit being enjoined than see The Hobbit made while the studios are ripping the Tolkiens off. (Somewhat opposite my reaction to the Rowling case.)

Slashdot pointed out that Peter Jackson *also* had to sue the studio for his payment, because this studio seems to have engaged in some serious "creative accounting" in financing this film.

Also, when I read their headline "LoTR Lawsuit Threatens Hobbit Production" I was really really confused about why they thought hobbits were a manufactured good with production levels.

Man... makes me glad I didn't become an entertainment lawyer. *goes to tell sister not to be an entertainment accountant*

LOL. Hobbit production is down! Better stock up now!
