Tolkien Society Copyright Reply

Would you be able to provide us with those sites as well please? Use Google like the rest of us peons do... Didn't know you were the JRRT police...this is a huge world and the internet is a big place. Protecting one photo of a loved figure will take a lifetime. Is it copyrighted? please show us that. It's our photo and we own the copyright, which we bought for £18,000 at auction.

The meme shows a Twitter exchange between the Tolkien Society and a user arguing about the copyright of a photo of J.R.R. Tolkien. The Tolkien Society first asks for the websites where the image was found, while the user sarcastically tells them to search Google and mocks them as copyright police. The punchline is the Society’s deadpan response that it owns the photo’s copyright after buying it for £18,000 at auction.
