Trekmovie.com is always against AXANARD!!!!! That "arcticle" (loool) is just doing cheap shots against them......
I am an attorney (retired).
Fer realz.
As in, I actually passed the New York Bar, practiced and am still in good standing with them.
I'd love to see just WTF he thinks his defense is. Fair use? Transformative works? 'Cause those tend to work (kind of) when use is small and not for profit. They also work when you don't borrow too much and you change a lot. See Definition of Transformative Works and Fair Use.
Q: What do you call the attorney who graduated last in his class?
A: Alec Peters.
Or just go see it more than once if it's good.
#BeyondAgainforAlecP
Oh, he's one of those people that sign their posts WHEN THE NAME IS CLEARLY VISIBLE TOO
FUCKING DINGLEDANGLE
NOW I HATE HIM MORE
Axanads : THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH !
Probably both.
Well played, sir.
Right in the Axanards.
Fucker is making me feel worried for New Voyages and (no offense to the New Voyage folks) I don't even like New Voyages. If there is heads that roll over this, I hope that guys at STC and NV/PII manage to avoid the swing of the axe. I figure Renegades is going to be next on the list, they've not made as much noise and been as dumbass as Axanar but they've got their fair bit of press.
Man they need to fix those hidden cameras, horrible resolution on those buggers there, looks like something out of the 1960's...
;-)
Got a link? I'd love to see who Peters is blaming now.
Because as we all know, it's everyone else's fault. He's the victim here!

Oh brother ... Peter's comment on Trekmovie. Whew ... he's unhinged on all fronts.
Although I was curious to see if Peters was actually an attorney. Because he tosses that around a lot in an appeal to authority.
He is — he passed the North Carolina State Bar in 1988. However, he's listed as inactive on the State Bar's website.
The way I found that out is through an LA Times article that spotlighted Peter's when he was a men's volleyball coach, which was something listed in his Propworx bio. So I went to the North Carolina State Bar site and found him.
However, I wonder what kind of lawyer. There's no listing of what type of law he practiced. IP and copyright law is a different beast than say property law or criminal law.
So while he may be an attorney, his expertise may not lend itself to speaking with authority about copyright law.
See #3 in Peter's FB response (screencapped above).
Yeup. I'm trying to set up some online stuff (nothing big or fan related, just small stuff) and it's been a headache to find a lawyer that handles IP/Copyright law. A couple flat out said that that didn't get into to it cause it to complicated and time consuming and there isn't enough demand outside big media-corporations.

Evil Kirk (angry) : I'M CAPTAIN KIRK !
Good Kirk : Dude, have a Snickers....
Evil Kirk ( still angry ) : Why ?
Good Kirk : Because your not yourself when you don't have one...
Evil Kirk ( sad ) : I wanna live....
Good Kirk : Better ?
Evil Kirk (smiling) : Better...
Sorry, sometimes this stuff writes itself...
I can't stand big egos, and I can't stand baseless indignation.
Now I'm glad I never got around to contributing to this project like I was kind of planning to.
The whole situation is unfortunate. I thought that the little Axanar tidbits that we got looked pretty good... But not to the level of "better than anything by CBS or Paramount" like some people are mistakenly claiming.
