    The books go into public domain in 20 years. Now that Christopher Tolkien is out of the way (who tended to block a lot of stuff, for better or worse) , the current heirs want as much out of it as they can.

    20 years might sound like a lot, but that’s about as much time as between the Peter Jackson movies and now.
