A question I'd like to ask is: exactly how much of the Appendices do New Line have the rights to? I believe that the original editions of the book had smaller Appendices and they were expanded later in the 70s or 80s(which was AFTER Tolkien sold the film rights). I say this because a few years ago I read an article about the Middle Earth MMORPG game where the developers said that they had the rights to only parts of the Appendices.
