Its already been said, but the way he threw the other fan films under the bus in that interview really was appalling for someone who is always singing the praises of New Voyages and talking about how he's helped other fan films.
His sour relationship with Vic is well documented but the specific calling out of their upcoming fundraiser seems incredibly petty. That said, without knowing any behind the scenes details, I know if I had a fan series I'd be tempted to delay any fundraising while this is going on.
It very much reads like someone who is desperately trying to get himself out of this with anything intact. I do have to wonder what conversations have taken place we're not aware of. For example, whether Alec and co got in touch to offer discontinuing the project. I have to assume it'd be a better option than letting this law suit continue. I have to wonder if CBS is past that and are pushing ahead, backing Alec into a corner.

People bought Star Trek:Nemesis on DVD thus proving that people will spend money on just about anything.
James has been a pioneer and a supporter of the whole community. Watch Alex through him under the bus. What an arse.
It is very telling that Alec feels the need to make snide remarks regarding other Fan Films. It's true what people say. He does believe his own hype. He's making all these comments about how superior Axanar is based on a 20 minute documentary style film. Let's be honest. It's not a showcase of Alec's or his teams skill. It's almost purely a showcase of Tobias Richter's.
'Struth.
Again - Alec is a "creator" and everyone else is either a supporter of his creative vision or a hater/enemy.
I imagine most of those Star Trek: Nemesis DVD sales came from TNG box set sales. I doubt it ever sold very well on it's own
All of you are banned. Permanently.
Same here. The worst thing about it? I think it has aged the best out of the TNG films.
I realllyyyy want to know the name of Axanar's Mystery Law Firm.
He ought to provide premium access to detailed updates for a small "donation."

It is the most recent.Same here. The worst thing about it? I think it has aged the best out of the TNG films.
But imagine if they have to send 10,000 a week. Because that's what you'd need, because that's how often technical copyright infringement happens.
Putting the actual cost aside, companies want selective enforcement. Plain and simple. They don't like being forced to litigate, particularly when something is not really a threat.
Of course, and that's my point. They don't want youtube clips and fan fiction on some 8th grader's facebook page to determine their control of their own property. If copyright were to become like trademark, that's what would happen. Any infringement-- no matter how minor-- could potentially hurt their ability to control their own property.
Me too.Hey!
(Says the guy that has bought it on disc at least twice)
I had to compete the set.
Who's to say he hasn't tried?
