I'm so annoyed that they're calling the new hobbit game 'A The Lord of the Rings Game' (www.pcgamer.com)

“Tales from the Shire: A Lord of the Rings game” they probably just have a few “A Lord of the Rings game”(s) in the pipeline

So I missed it the first time. But the title is "A The Lord of the Rings Game". Assumedly to maintain copyright, they did not drop the "The" from "The Lord of the Rings" even though they started with "A"

That would probably be trademark, not copyright.
