Peter is a Kiwi, and his influence can be seen most prominently at the Wellington airport and on Air New Zealand flight safety films, which are a lot of fun. He has beaucoup money from his successes, so good on him. The lawyers for the Tolkien estate didn’t serve their client well for not going for a % of Gross rather than Profit, which we should all know by now can be gerryrigged to be whatever the PTB want it to be. I just find it rather telling how “greedy” a Leftist Moonbat can be by lowballing the benefactor of said Moonbat’s success. (I got no dog in this fight because these movies bored me beyond tears.)
Agreed. This is rank hypocrisy of the first order. Knowing that his side can define what "gross profit" means and knowing that is always tweaked such that said profit is always zero, Jackson and these studios are nothing but robber barons.
