The intellectual Property of J. R. R Tolkien has been traded amongst various companies, most recently was the aqqusition of all movie and game rights by Warner Bros. Instead of using these rights to produce a high quality game they have instead exercised that power to bully a small development team whose only interest has been to create an online world for Tolkien fans.</p> <p>I ask that those of you with an interest read, listen, watch, rate, comment and most importantly SHARE the video below.</p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxMe2JY15Hs&amp;feature=plcp" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxMe2JY15Hs&amp;feature=plcp</a></p> <p>Thanks for taking the time, all the best,</p> <p>W. Goodspeed </p>
