A fan fiction writer has been sued by the estate of JRR Tolkien for copyright after publishing his own sequel to The Lord of the Rings.
US-based author Demetrious Polychron published a book called The Fellowship of the King in 2022.
He dubbed it “the pitch-perfect sequel to The Lord of the Rings.”
The court ruled that Polychron must stop distributing copies of the book and destroy all physical and electronic copies.
