Plus it kinda takes teeth out of the argument that CBS/Paramount are "suing the fans! Oh noes!"

Nope. They are just suing one person, regardless of when his mother woke him up at age eight.

Now if this could be successfully communicated to Lord Alec's acolytes, maybe some of em would wake up and begin to realize he's the one who has been in the wrong all this time..........

I hope they sue the pants off of him, big time, the guy doesn't deserve a break, no matter what.

Also it would be funny for him to be on a street corner w/ a cardboard sign.

It's a good strategy for CBS/Paramount, but not suing the does, they can be compelled to testify against Alec without a 5th amendment compulsion or needs for deals. This may make a settlement easier, but it sounds to me like they're zeroing in...
 
ahhhhhh....

You guys are lucky I wasn't feeling well and was mostly offline the last two days. I was thinking of shutting the thread at 999 just for the outrage. :lol:

I almost did. Had finger poised over the "closed" button at 998 pages. I couldn't bring myself to do it.

I'm sure if you guys had, SOMEONE would have opened a:

TREKBBS Posters Sue Administrator and Moderator Over Premature Closure of "CBS-Paramount Sues to Stop Axanar" Discussion Thread

thread. :angel:;)

As you can see, it can get weird at the best of times (this is why I was never a Calendar Clerk).

Either way, we are Doe-free.

Either way, we are still looking for a response to the counterclaim, which is due on the 13th of June - Carlos and I agree from our reading of the documents.

FYI, not naming Does does the following -
  • it focuses the defense on one person who cannot point fingers at others
  • it does not muddy the waters going after people who might not have much they could contribute financially
  • it moves the matter closer to the direction of a settlement, but then there's that pesky counterclaim in the way which added unnecessary complexity
  • it makes it easier to call those people are witnesses, even adverse ones
See, naming RMB (to throw out a name) as a Doe probably means a small contribution if anything from him, all while stretching out the matter. A cost-benefit analysis does not favor this. All that's needed is to have him testify. He need not be named for that to happen.

Anyway, less drama this way - and I'm sorry if people are disappointed. The case goes on, though, and it's still not magically settled after the Abrams/Lin pronouncement. Imagine that.

the Doe threat was a threat and it may have produced witnesses and/or information.
