Let's assume Lord of the Rings was out of term and then a bunch of shoddily made movies got made based on the story and didn't reap much.

Sloane kept his collection first on punched cards, then in a “handbook”—A Handbook of Integer Sequences, published in 1973, with the copyright held by Bell Telephone Laboratories, where he started working in 1968. In 1995 he launched an automated email lookup service called Superseeker, whereby the curious submitted sequence queries and the database replied with answers. In 1996 he opened up his repository for public browsing at oeis.org. With the lab’s blessing, Sloane put it up on the research division’s website.
