Another one bites the dust....

I'd be interested in hearing the Estate's side of the issue.

I did note the following quote:

Since The Hobbit movies were in production, I decided to capitalize on Tolkien’s reemerging popularity by revising and expanding my original biography, which would then be reissued as an eBook. What’s more, we were going to distribute it for free, as a way of publicizing our new boutique publishing house, Pixel Hall Press.

Perhaps CT is simply tired of every man and his dog wanting to "capitalize" on his father's work.
