Submission + - Tolkien Estate Says No Historical Fiction For JRR (techdirt.com)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: Apparently the estate of JRR Tolkien isn't just over protective of his works, but of himself as well. It's in a bit of a legal spat with the author of a fictional work that includes JRR Tolkien as a character, and in part discusses his works. The estate is claiming that this infringes on Tokien's publicity rights, but if that's the case, would it make almost all "historical fiction" illegal?
