Yes the LotR books are copyrighted. However due to a minor legal oversight the original US copyright on LotR was not valid and the books were published for a period of time by Ace taking advantage of this. As the US copyright was not valid Tolkien could take no legal action in court, but Ace was eventually forced by fan pressure to cease publication, the US copyright on the first edition text of LotR is still not valid. I believe this was corrected by properly copyrighting the text of a later edition of LotR in the US.
