With as long as he was silent there, who knows.....?
Day - drinking is most definitely a requirement at Ares/Valkyrie Studios/Warehouse/Storage Facility.
Eriq Gardner at THR has done six articles on the Axanar lawsuit since December 30th.
He hasn't yet posted an entry about this latest turn of events. It's possible he's doing research. It's also possible that the Redstone/Dauman thing is many million of times more interesting and important right now.

This. JJ and Justin are worried about the way "CBS SUES THE FANS!" could play with the wider fanbase.
I just wonder if this could backfire if peters gets a big ego and goes from thinking he's behind the eight ball to thinking he's in control of settlement talks now that he has the approval of jj.
'So CBS here is what I'm going to do. I won't use the word start trek at all on anything but I'm keeping rights to the axanar brand and can release anything I want under that brand as long as I don't call it Star Trek. You can claim a win that I won;t make anymore Star Trek items. If you don't agree I'm going to jj because he said this lawsuit much go awsy'

That's the legend. The reality, according to Herb Solow & Justman's book, is somewhat different.
Abrams said that
The only response or comment that Paramount has offered to this statement thus far is:

"That's outrageous. Call us when you are willing to negotiate close to our terms, or don't waste our time. If we don't hear from you, we are ready for discovery."
Only said it was going away in a few weeks.
If they wanted to drop it they could have already done that today. That is not normally a long process.
JJ said the "fans would be able to continue their project" (meaning Axanar). I doubt he said that thinking that Axanar would wind up being constrained to a 5 minute short. Even Prelude was longer than that. So either the pending rules will not put time-limit constraints on or Axanar will be grandfathered in. I suspect the former.
Why isn't there a "Shakes my head sadly" button?
Chuckle. Or it could be that JJ was shooting off at the mouth and no one knows what the end result will be....
Ok, cool. I never specifically heard that they're settling out of court. but given the statements, that's apparently what's going on.
I'll hazard a guess that the license CBS will grant to fan films puts a ban on crowdfunding. That alone will piss off a vast swath of the fan community, both current donors and those who have dreams of making their own films that way. If there are run-time restrictions or content restrictions, Alec won't be seen as the savior of fan films, but the slayer of them.
But he is a tool that moves a lot of air and absorbs a great deal of energy with minimal positive results.... so "fan" is a good name for Lord Garth.
Yep. By pushing the limits of fan films he's likely going to make life much more difficult for them but as long as he makes his film, get praised for it, and keeps his studio I don't think he cares.
