This has nothing to do with Peter Jackson or any of the movie production but specifically is aimed at the merchandising. They are aiming the lawsuit at Digital Media and Casino's who have abused the licensing agreement. Here's the Deadline Article. http://www.deadline.com/...en-estate-publisher/ Here is the legal complaint. http://www-deadline-com.vimg.net/...it__121120024937.pdf
