I have noticed that Robert Jordan rips off lots of words from Tolkien. The ones I can remember at the moment are: Andor, Hurin, Calma, Eldar, Galar, and Maia. I myself refuse to read the books, but my brother reads them and I have found these out from him. I personally count this as copyright infringement. Please do not tell me that it would never win in court. I am already told this by most people I know, including my own family. To give you a taste of my opinion, my old sig said

On thing I will say to his credit is that J.K. Rowling ripped off Dementors from him, IMO. He also has creatures that suck your soul out through your mouth and that have names that start with a D.
