Given as how Tolkien was never a US citizen, how is the US keeping us from his work, exactly? And what about Kurosawa? Are these just the US copyrights on works that are otherwise available in their countries of origin, or some part of a deal where we keep works from other countries unavailable? If I'm walking the streets of London and want to grab a copy of Tolkien, how exactly is US law supposed to stop me?
