CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

Here's my question: if Lin and JJ really went to CBS/Paramount, wouldn't their executives explain the situation? And if the situation was properly explained, are Lin and JJ really so misguided that they'd continue to defend AP's actions?

It's an olive branch.

At a certain point it's on the KS backers if they want to be rooked, I guess.

I hope not. I want to see AP squashed.

Court cases rarely go to trial, and settlements ussually let people save face. Lin gets to be a hero to the fringe of Trek, and to people who will only hear about this issue in retellings. But time will tell. And we'll see if Axanar ever gets made.

Now Alec really has to get to work. It's time to either make the movie(doubtful) or start doing final perk fullfillment.
 
So... why should CBS go along with this magnanimous gesture on the part of two Paramount-affiliated relative newbies? It's almost entirely CBS IP that's being infringed. What say does Bad Robot have in this situation?

Seems kind of odd. Anything that allows Peters to think he's won is going to blow up in their faces. Unless this is some way of shutting him up for the short term and smacking him down after Beyond makes its profit.
 
Actually, the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced it'll be entertaining to watch Alec having to adjust his narrative since he was poising Axanar to be the anti-JJ vision. Now that it's JJ and Lin saving his ass, he's gonna have to change his tune real damn quick.

Grab the popcorn, folks, the show ain't over yet.
 
Can't imagine the suits at Paramount will be thrilled at JJ's public characterization that the studio was strong-armed by a "Fast and Furious" director.
 
I have a hard time believing that the suit would just be dropped. Wouldn't that create a loss of credibility for CBS/P? From a public perception (not a legal one), how could anybody take them seriously if someone else were to infringe on another of their IP's and sued?

I can see some kind of settlement, but not dropping the suit outright

I can see certain individuals who have become obsessed with seeing the end of Peters going into meltdown over this one.

Not that I think it's in the studio's interests to drop it.
