In June 2004 I was forced to remove my two digital maps of Middle-earth and The Shire. This is because The JRR Tolkien Estate Limited does not allow Lord of the Rings-fans to make their own maps of the Middle-earth world.

"While I am aware that you and many other genuine fans will be disappointed in not being able to include your maps on websites, such maps are nonetheless infringements of my clients' copyright."
