WHAT?! You told us he directed porn. Not that he ruled over his own porn freakin' empire!
As has been suggested before, Star Trek and Porn helped create the Interwebs.
Mad props to Mr Cushman I say

Occulus Rift is coming..."The Next Generation"
TNG glossed over it but you ain't telling me barclay was just letting Dr Crusher stroke his hair that time...
Christ knows what went on in those Holodecks. Geordi probably had to get the engineering team to hose them down every night...
I don't even wanna think about Quarks...

To be fair, though, at least Quark was honest about what the holosuites were used for.
Now there's a thinker: How does IP and copyright infringement work in Trek's universe?

They are as clumsy as they are stupid. No wonder they got sued.
Ask and ye shall receive.
"Author, Author" covers it a bit. Pretty much the same as our time, sadly.

Dr. Crusher? No, Barclay was a Troi man. As I would be in the same situation.
Now would be a bad time.
Alec Peters made a deal with Ad Astra Games to market the game Squadron Strike: Axanar. Peters sure had a busy 2015 with his merchandising tie-ins instead of making the Axanar movie his donors paid for.

Based on conversations I've had with a few people today, I am reasonably confidant this litigation only has a few days left to run. Despite their public statements, I believe Axanar knows they are finished. Indeed, I suspect the main reason for their continued public bravado is they are trying to convince donors they're doing everything possible to keep production going--in the hopes those same donors won't turn around and sue them for breach of contract or fraud.
The only question is what will be CBS and Paramount's terms of surrender. I don't see how the studios can allow Axanar to keep any of the money it has raised. I think any settlement will require an outside auditing of Axanar's books, because as we've all commented on here, the "annual report" is a joke. I think the studios will want Axanar to turn over any records related to its relationship with Indiegogo and Kickstarter, because let's not forget they were the major financial beneficiaries in all this. And obviously, Axanar will have to destroy any copyrighted materials still in their possession (patches, Blu-rays, etc.)
Where does that leave the donors? My guess is there won't be much left for them. Remember, Axanar (or maybe Peters individually, I don't know) will still be on the hook for the Ares Studios lease. That plus other legal expenses related to any settlement will probably destroy whatever assets Axanar as a corporation has remaining. Obviously I don't know anything about Peters' personal assets.

According to Alec's girlfriend, he has really small assets
