zgirnius:
Yes, Stanford Law School's Fair Use Project is helping out with the
case. Although the impression I get is that their interest in the case
is its possibility to be a precedent-setting case in copyright law
relating to the legal doctrine of "Fair Use", which they favor
expanding/protecting.
While I agree with your point about Lexicons (I own one or two for the
Tolkien Universe myself!), it seems the law/precedent on this issue may
not be very clear.
