[Writer note: This was originally posted as a Twitter thread in response to a continued misinformation campaign against the Tolkien Society, the Amazon TV series and other licensing issues such as confusion over games set in Middle-earth.

Please note the information here has been cleaned up and updated with new information just revealed about the Amazon TV series access to material.]
