What? There aren't any female Orcs as far as I'm aware.

I don't understand why we continue to accept IP law fucking us up the ass like this. If they don't care about the original story and are going to put out ridiculous fanfiction either way, why does Amazon or any corporation get exclusive permission to write stories with Tolkien's characters? IP law is Chrony Capitalism exemplified. It empowers empty shell companies that create nothing but have money to buy the creations of those who came before. It's an artificial construct propped up by legal fictions. Why can't we end this today?

If you care about the free market, you should want anybody to be able to write any story they choose using these characters that Tolkien gifted to the world and which have become timeless cultural icons. The best creations which our culture deems worthy will succeed in the market. Woke corpo trash will fail.

(to be clear I'm not against some copyright privileges, but can we roll it back a little?)
