UPDATED: Tolk_en estate versus the Streisand Effect

Update: I was wrong. Writing on behalf of the Tolkien estate, Steven Maier, partner at the Oxford law firm of Manches LLP, says, “Zazzle has confirmed that it took down the link of its own accord, because its content management department came across the product and deemed it to be potentially infringing.”


Zazzle user Harpocrates has a thoroughgoing response to the Tolkien estate’s insistence that a badge reading “While You Were Reading Tolkien, I Was Watching Evangelion” infringes on its rights — a series of tees and buttons.
