This is just a sad state of affairs. Surely enough money was made from the trilogy/me... sales of the books/etc that everyone should get a fair share and feel satisfied.

Tolkien passed away many years ago. However his family has certain 'copyrights' which must be honored.
C S Lewis and Tolkien used to meet weekly at a pub in Oxford for many years to discuss their writings.

  Yep -- There's a great book on the subject called "The Inklings." Tolkien's collection of letters in book form is also a fascinating read.
