CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

Not open for further replies.
That moment when you are just trying to get away from the whole Axanonsense by revisiting your TWOK Blu-ray. You decide to visit the extras section, find "Collecting the Relics of the Star Trek Universe" and are greeted by Alec Peters, CEO of Propworx discussing his Star Trek collection...

Thanks Alec... now I can't even enjoy THIS?!?!
That's why I don't watch the extras. :lol:

But hey:

Yet, we all have stories and horrors to tell of things we have watched and cannot unsee...heinousities reserved for the most eyeball-searing of visions, yet, we watch. Like a train wreck we see coming and cannot tear our gaze from...

...madness, indeed, sir!
 
I remember those old films/filmstrips we used to watch having to do with body organs and systems.

I think they were entitled "I am Joe's______" (fill in the subject, like "liver", "respiratory system", etc.)

7th Grade, wow! Good Times!

But, back on Thread, I feel like we are witnessing the detailed function of an excretory system...

The Alec cat that crapped in the sandbox.
 
so the references to Alec are:
1. he boasts (stated twice) about how good they are compared to the studio
2. he is being sued
3. [in contrast to other fan efforts] he paid himself and sold merch
4. the lawsuit complains that he and others receive direct financial benefit
5. his project built a studio to use for other things and they ambitiously declaim this
6. he's defending himself with fair-use and non-commercial status and challenges to copyright claims, and :whistle: innocently enough for the reader's ref wrt/ copying, here's this pic for example (Enterprise from Axanar and Studio identical, from the lawsuit)
7. some fans think Peters has gone too far
8. [contrasting other film leaders as cooperative] Peters badmouths them characterizing their personal professions with ridicule as compared to his 'professional' effort and staff
9. the lawsuit is hurting other films
.
But otherwise they are very complimentary. :D
