Mr. Peters is a lot like Mr. Trump. A lot of people wish we would go away, but spend so much time thinking and talking about him that he doesn't. It's like clapping for Tinkerbelle around here. 702 pages of clapping.
Anyway, I wonder if CBS would mind at all if the proceedings don't take place before the movie is out.
Out of this thread have arisen a variety of specifics that have found their way out into axamonitor, the g&t show, 1701news, and various critical posts on trekmovie and other places. Its a pretty sharp edged mirror.
My guess is CBS would expect Axanar to fold if discovery starts.
LOL on Tinkerbell. But I think he is more like a fish on a hook. They are playing him, letting him run out the line, and he still thinks he can unhook himself.
It was a tweet from Star Wars setting out all of the rules for this year's Fan Film contest
no characters named Garth Vader?
The rules I found say:

Sent a couple of people your way, Carlos, when they asked me what I thought of Axanar... They are now at Camp CBS/Paramount
Also, last night I published a response to that silly 'Kobayashi Maru' blog post from Kryptonradio alleging that only by buying Axanar could Paramount save itself from certain doom. It's called, "Which Kobayashi Maru?"

Good rebuttal to an insane argument--and I won't even get into the comments on Kryptonradio.
What makes me crazy with all those who are all "hey, let us just use Star Trek, you suck Paramount," if it was Paramount who was stealing IP from them--their crappy sci fi novel about Dogs fighting an intergalactic band of space witches--they would freak the fuck out.
In some ways, this case is about keeping the protections of copyright for EVERYONE.
Gosh, Carlos, that was another impressive article. It read like you and I had read the same Watkins article because while I read yours I kept shaking my head yes and telling my computer screen "Yes! That's exactly what I was thinking when I read the Watkins one!"
(I mean clearly I know it was the same article we read but also clear is that it is being interpreted differently by different thinkers
)

Quick side question: In all of this Axanar drama, I thought I read somewhere Alec saying he'd read and follows all of CBS' rules regarding fan films. Am I remembering this right? Did he actually say / write that? Does anyone have a link if so? Friends have suggested that if he said it anywhere, he said it here.
Thank you!

took them long enough
do you have something in a visible place that will get them following the other resources?
^^^In his TBBS thread "Official Star Trek" from April 2012 starting on page one he admonishes others (the following bolding is mine):
Those are in his first two posts; #1 & #6. I believe there are more so that thread may be an easy place to start looking.
Oh, and he does say in his Star Trek: Axanar thread September 2012 announcing his production, only 6 months after posting those admonitions to others, that he had been working on his script for almost two years, which includes well before he posted his admonitions to others, therefore it would be entirely logical and reasonable to infer his admonitions to others would also be followed by him with his own production.

amen to that. the way to get through to trek fans is to plant some metaphors they instantly recognize.
After a harrowing adventure at great personal risk to myself and cost the lives of 10 operatives bringing this across enemy lines, I have procured a secretly taped meeting of Alec & Co. trying to deal with the cluster **** (Axanar) of their own making. As you can see for yourself, the Andorian Ice Coffee is their undoing ......
I read that STO thread, and keep coming across the 'It's best for both if CBS just licences...' argument.
Here's a thought Axanar fans: CBS might not want their name associated with your product.
Coz get this: Axanar is not good (and Axanar is not bad), because at the moment Axanar doesn't exist. Hell, according to Alec snd Co. they don't even have a script! Throw in fanfilms (as a whole) average level of quality, and Axanar could potentially be so embarrassingly shitty that fans will start calling Nemesis an under-appreciated masterpiece.
Even the network that aired the 'Star Wars Holiday Special' can be wary of courting some unnecessary shame.
But alas, that such a train of thought requires acknowledging that CBS literally can't be suing due to 'jealousy' of a non-existant movie's non-existant quality.
