I imagine Carlos is documenting what is relevant to the facts of the case. Rants and podcasts aren't necessarily in that category.
The suit is about IP infringement, not about APs personality defects. Good thing for him.
Out of lurking here for a minute. With regard to the counter-claim, I wonder if/how long until P/CBS file a motion to dismiss the counter-claim?
Either way, I don't see how he can win.
Regarding fundraising: CBS could simply say no fundraising. That's a way around ever evolving fundraising paradigms. A simple, nope, you can't fund raise.
Fund raising was one of the reasons this mess all happened.
Addressed upthread, but there is a pre-existing use going back at least 8 years

Especially when every 5th post is about how the page count.
I have been down that road. Donor/believer --> What can I do to help them --> to 'wait a minute ... what does this mean'... and 'what does that mean', and 'hold on -- what's going on here' --> dumbfounded --> to calling bs on everything.
It made me really sad. I mean, I had really believed in them.

I've been down that road, up that creek, and over that cliff. I won't be rubbing anyone's nose in it.
Like I said elsewhere, if anyone can talk himself back into the frying pan at this stage, it would be AP.
I admit, my exposure to 'unclean hands' submissions is purely in relation to contract cases. IP law isn't my area of expertise at all, but from my exposure to, 'unclean hands' seems...inapplicable in this case.
The only way I can think of them even trying, is if they're gonna try and say that CBS gave them permission, and therefore they had an agreement that CBS is breaching. Or they're still pursuing the 'but they shouldn't be signalling us out!' thing, and will try to pitch it as harassment or whatnot.
Here, what constitutes 'unethical' behavior is determined by common law. If you want to try and find out Axanar's angle and how successful it might be, the US or state precedent is presumably what you'd need to find out

Has it been a long road? You know, getting from there to here?
Yeah, me too. And someone said 'throwing everything against the wall to see if anything sticks'. Yup, that goes on. And, you know, sometimes something sticks. Which is one of the reasons why some people who deserve to pay the justice served for their sins against others... don't. And some people who are fully deserving of being protected by the justice system... aren't.
Lawsuits and other justice system matters are (as someone else here said) tricksy hobitses.
seriously <said with heavy vocal fry>
