Listing of websites receiving Cease and Desists from Tolkien Enterprises in Fall 2004
We're hearing that other sites are getting C&D's from TE. It appears TE is up to their usual once every 2-3 years sweep of any Tolkien related sites. If your site received a C&D from them, please consider posting a reply to this page, or email webmaster@merp.com so we can list you on this section, to let others know which sites are being affected.
You can just reply to this article, or send an email to webmaster@merp.com to let us know if you have received a C&D from Telkien Enterprises, and what it was related to. At least this way we have some idea of how extensive the sweep is this time around. -Volunteer Team for the International Middle-earth Role-Playing Gaming Community at Merp.com
So far, the sites receiving harrassment from Tolkien Enterprises that we know of include:
Older Sites C&D'd by Tolkien Enterprises
ACG
The highly praised ACG (Advanced Character Generator) from http://www.corleone.com/acg/ has been removed from the server due to threats from the greedy usurpers of tolkiens works :-(
This small but excellent program, contained only a minimal, if any references to tolkiens works. Shame on them. If they we're only republishing the complete merp/rm works, i could partly understand their behaviour, but no. Sheer insanity.
