I was hoping the apostrophes in my previous post would be a hint denoting my industrial strength sarcasm at LFIM's expense. Apparently I was too subtle.

CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

One thing about being passionate about something is that you will practice and try to learn about it in order to improve. At least, that's has been my experience. You love it so you want to spend more time on it, hence you learn and presumably you improve. There are areas with hard limits, but even a lousy singer should be able to learn breath control techniques.
Speaking of which, I hope our YouTube videos are improving.
Thank you for listening.

Today is answer day! I take it nothing's shown up on Pacer yet?
It will probably be tomorrow morning. I hope anyway, this level of unhealthy hatred is difficult to maintain without fuel.
Wow, I don't think delusional is even a strong enough word for this.
I saw something earlier today, but it seems to have been deleted, about a group called Legion M who are trying to find investors (not donors) to build a small for-profit studio. Once it's built, they may create non-profit fan-films as well as small for-profit indie films. Cool. Good luck, guys.
Now, if two years ago, Alec Peters had done the same thing, announcing that he was putting the Axanar project on hold (and keeping that money separate) until he had a studio bought and paid for (well, in mortgage), and not done some of the other things he did, I would bet CBS/Paramount would not have cared one tweet about his $600,000 fan film.
Also, I was reading old topics on Trek-BBS, and I found an exchange back in 2012 where someone from (I think) ST:C or ST:P2 listed all the things CBS told them not to do: don't use Kickstarter, don't pay the crew, don't pay actors more than micro-project scale, etc, etc,. Alec Peters replied back that those looked very reasonable. Over the next three years, I think he used that list as a checklist of rules to break because it looks like he did every one of those don'ts. It's almost as if he was TRYING to come pop up on CBS's radar.

I would call it stunned disbelief, but that has to be reserved for the comments one sees from Axanar fans who have absolutely no idea that anything is wrong.
Now there's an exchange to highlight in blogs.

Nothing on PACER.
Did the plaintiffs default on the counterclaim? It's not outside the realm of possibility.
It is a pretty dang silly counterclaim; might not have felt it was worth it to bother. Or perhaps this is a signal of an upcoming settlement. We shall see whenever PACER is next updated.

PRIMERS I've reorganized the AxaMonitor home page to create easy access (especially for newbies) to topical "primers" — easy-to-digest packages of articles covering the six major subject areas covered in the wiki:
- Lawsuit (including easy access to every legal document filed in the case)
- Copyright
- About Axanar
- Crowdfunding
- Fan Films
- Opinion/Analyses

Does default carry any particular penalties in this type of case, Janet?
The counterclaim is silly but I can't see c/p just defaulting on it. Very odd.
I would assume a default means the defendants get their prayers for relief which means axanar goes ahead.
Maybe this is the "lawsuit goung away" moment.
Ha. You wish. The defense would first have to file a motion for default judgment wrt the counterclaim, and the plaintiffs could still seek an extension to respond.
Also, civil procedure states the plaintiffs "must serve an answer to a counterclaim or crossclaim within 21 days after being served with the pleading that states the counterclaim." [emphasis mine]
The actual service of papers might have happened on May 24, which means plaintiffs may have until tomorrow to file their Answer.

Huh? I'm not on axanar side in this at all
