I rather doubt that they are that concerned with 'people shouting from the roof-tops', considering all the bending and twisting done.
My argument though is that their choice accomplishes less twisting. If you are portraying the FA directly, then do it FA style. Don't make 3rd Age rhymes and riddles into a reality no one will recognize. Of course, we might rather that they did not touch the FA at all. But assuming they do anyways... would you really rather they depicted Valinor without the Two Trees cosmology? In my mind that would have been the much greater evil.

As for rights, wasn't there a clause somewhere that they couldn't contradict published material?
