npub1psdfxfpxz2cwmmnsk60y3nqpn2tqh9n24h4hstvfkwvr6eaek9js499sr7 (npub1psd…9sr7) The Tolkien Estate certainly has the exclusive right to make derivative works of the originals, but that doesn't mean they hold copyright on unauthorised derivative works.
If Amazon really had ripped off a fan-fic, that would be a problem and I could understand them feeling wronged. But I'm not sure how they expected to be able to commercially publish the fan-fic after filing suit...
