@gutenberg_org Ah! Copyright kills the joy in words,
for years numberless beyond the lives of men!
The words decay like ragged handfuls of rotted leaves,
locked in their covers on silent shelves.

That transcription was a transformative use of a very small section of a copyrighted work. And did you think printing the words in the Feanorean alphabet removed the copyright?
However, I have edited the offending post to remove the forbidden text. What is in there now is my own composition - on which I hold the copyright.
@winterknell Great, thanks for sharing, really appreciate it!
