    Heh, more of this shit.

    Remember, the only reason we can still watch the highly influential 1922 vampire movie Nosferatu today is because some people didn't destroy all their copies despite a court saying they had to.

    DISOBEY DESTRUCTION ORDERS.

    COPY ALL THE THINGS.

      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).

      At least restrict it. A carpenter who made me a chair doesn't get paid every time I rest my derriere on it.
