The fan community stood behind Tolkien in his royalties battle, and I think we owe it to Peter to do the same. I&#8217;ve only met him once and that was brief, but he is an amazing man who certainly doesn&#8217;t deserve this: <\/p>\n<p>In the last two years, London-based Granada Media (a multibillion-dollar entertainment and news conglomerate) has sold over six hundred thousand DVDs and videotapes of THE LAST UNICORN. They&#8217;ve also made cable broadcast deals for it in several different countries, and they sold the live action remake rights for a quarter of a million dollars.<\/p>\n<p>The film is based on Peter S. Beagle&#8217;s famous book. He also wrote the screenplay. The film is as good as it is because he put everything he had into it.<\/p>\n<p>And you know what? Granada Media refuses to pay Peter what they owe him. They&#8217;ve made millions on his creativity. They owe him hundreds of thousands of dollars. But they won&#146;t pay up.
