If I write a book in Esperanto, it's equally copyrightable as if I'd
written it in any natlang. If I write in Klingon, I'd need approval
from either Okrand or Paramount, whoever is listed as the copyright
owner. If I wrote in Quenya, it might fall either way, depending on
the opinions of the Tolkien estate.

Wait. Is this true? Are you certain? I'm sure that's what Paramount
and Okrand would say now, but has it been legally tested? If it has,
I'd like to read the case.
