Oh look, someone else who doesn't understand that software by definition is an intangible product. The manner of distribution (disc or digital download) is completely irrelevant.

Wonder what this means for the MERP project that recently got it's c&d from Warner Brothers. According to this case Warner Brothers wouldn't have the rights to a download only game.

No, no, no. It's not the Tolkien estate that applied a cease and desist, it was one of the three companies that where given rights to produce products. Perhaps one could argue that they should / should have stepped in. However, if they were unawares then how would they know to?

The merchandising agreement between the estate and Warner Borhters only covers tangible products.
