Lalwende - I do understand some of your ire. But just to be clear, Pater Jackson did not make a profit off the literature written by JRRT. His money came from making three movies based on the work of JRRT. There is a difference. You make it sound like Jackson did what Ace Books did and ripped off Tolkien to reap undeserved profits.
