00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.930
A writer fought Amazon and JR
are Tolkien. Guess who won? Hey,

2
00:00:03.930 --> 00:00:06.720
I'm Peter Scobel and here
is an AV club Newswire

3
00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:14.310
After Amazon and the Tolkien estate
were hit with a big copyright lawsuit

4
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:18.420
earlier this year, they responded
with a proverbial Uno reverse card,

5
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:23.130
some writer named Demetrius Poly. Kron
alleged in his suit that Amazon primes,

6
00:00:23.130 --> 00:00:25.440
billion dollar show,
the Lord of the Rings.

7
00:00:25.470 --> 00:00:30.180
The rings of power copied largely
from his book called Get This,

8
00:00:30.270 --> 00:00:31.770
the Fellowship of the King,

9
00:00:32.070 --> 00:00:36.330
Amazon and the Tolkien Estate essentially
responded with what? Who are you?

10
00:00:36.720 --> 00:00:37.320
Wait.

11
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.740
You wrote a book called The Fellowship
of the King and a sequel called The Two

12
00:00:40.740 --> 00:00:44.640
Trees. Buddy, you Owe us
Money. The judge, of course,

13
00:00:44.650 --> 00:00:47.670
agreed with Amazon and the
Tolkien estate, who called the,

14
00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:51.210
frankly very funny lawsuit,
frivolous from the beginning,

15
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:53.700
ultimately ordering poly cron to pay

16
00:00:53.730 --> 00:00:58.710
134,637 bucks to both Amazon and

17
00:00:58.710 --> 00:01:00.270
Tolkien in attorney fees.

18
00:01:00.330 --> 00:01:05.070
We guess you miss 100% of the shots you
don't take for all of your filming TV

19
00:01:05.070 --> 00:01:07.260
