I have to wonder how the quoted person thinks TLRB is infringing in any case. It is not a copy of TLOTR; it uses some characters from it but character copyright is not listed in the UK statute (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/contents) and I read that case law has not created character copyrights either (http://www.harbottle.com/hnl/pages/article_view_hnl/3844.php).
