"If
you have a hamster named Frodo, you better hope the Saul Zaentz Company
doesn't find out. A division of the firm, which owns the rights to
various Hobbity things, has (rather belatedly) accused a British pub of
copyright infringement for, among other things, calling itself The
Hobbit (for 20 years) and serving character-themed drinks,
says the BBC. But in a wonderfully ironic show of support, "Hobbit" movie star Stephen Fry blasted the action,
tweeting:
"Sometimes I'm ashamed of the business I'm in. What pointless,
self-defeating bullying." To save The Hobbit pub, you can join 16,000
people who have
liked its Facebook Page"
When I "liked" their Facebook page the number was over 39,000. I couldn't even get into the BBC page, it was so busy. Let's keep it coming.
