'The Hobbit' Pub Threatened With Lawsuit

Posted by Soulskill on from the it-does-not-do-to-leave-lawyers-out-of-your-calculations dept.

An anonymous reader writes "'The Hobbit,' a small pub in Southampton, England, has been threatened with a lawsuit by lawyers representing the Saul Zaentz Company in California. The pub, which has traded under the name for the last 20 years without incident, now faces closure if it does not change its name. It's yet another example of big business throwing its weight around to get its way. The pub's landlady said simply, 'I can't fight Hollywood.'"
