CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

Right, but now that Axanar Productions has no liabilities, they don't need 15k/month to exist. The investor group is on the hook for the rent, and is a for-profit company. They can do whatever they want with their studio. And if they find that they've made a bad investment, they can go tits up as well. they aren't a charity.
Of course, since the groups are one and the same, there's obviously overlapping money concerns, but when they separated them on paper, forgot that the needs of one don't carry to the other. Either just admitted to paying Axanar people a salary, or asked us to pay for the salary of for-profit company employees (of which we know nothing about who they are or what they do).
Seems like it's mixing the pots pretty badly. It's obvious what the INTENT is, but since they started trying to play the shell game, you can't go back and try this anymore, can you? Investment group just assumed the lease and paid out Axanar for all their improvements, so they should have cash on hand, plus no rent. It's the investment group that's in trouble, and sinking fast.

Here it is.
The same reason God needs a starship?
My god. I can't believe how far Alec Peters will go to continue this crap. I really hope C/P decide not to settle - and as W&S are using people like JJ Abrams and Justin Lin's personal comments about the lawsuit, if this goes to trial and C/P are able to receive a 'Damages' award; the show all this ridiculous crap like Johnathan Lane's 'Go Fund Me' for Axanar expenses.
I do wish crap like the above would finally trigger the California Attorney General to bring criminal changes because it's really getting ridiculous. Alec Peters seems to be at the point that he expects a full and free ride; or expects to be paid just for being Alec Peters.

Isn't this the same person who is providing the only source of neutral unbiased reporting on the whole Axanar situation?
If this is true, then Alec should do like every other capable and responsible adult and work for the damn money himself. I wouldn't be surprised if Lane gets a call from Ranahan to cease and desist fairly soon.
A settlement doesn't mean Peters gets something. It's not necessarily a compromise where CBS gets something and Peters gets something.
The settlement discussions could be trying negotiate how much Peters pays CBS.
If CBS/Paramount get what they want over the course of settlement talks, there's no gain in going to court. It's money down the drain. Yes, sure, we all want to see Peters publicly humiliated, but, it's not our money and time being spent. I would be surprised if CBS/Paramount don't get everything they want in the settlement.
Oh, I'm well aware of what a court settlement might entail. That's why I hope they don't settle because at this point Alec peters deserves NOTHING - and shouldn't walk away with as much as a %$#@! patch from this clusterf**k.
Maybe I'm not making myself clear.
A settlement isn't necessarily a compromise. Even if they settle, he might not be walking away with anything.
The settlement talks could literally be a discussion of does he pay 300,000 dollars or 150,000 dollars.
Besides, going to court, there is always a chance that Peters COULD walk away with something.
Is it possible that the investors group is losing members and there isn't enough money left to pay the rent?
I like our investor group better, they invest a lot of blood sweat and yes.... smiles
Just for the record, Rand is now officially a recovering Axaholic who has fully renounced his former overlord. He says that he regularly received instruction from Alec on who to attack and what to say, even being provided with the text to post with no evidence whatsoever of its veracity beyond Alec's word. Hmmm...
According to Mr. Lane, who is apparently a Biblical scholar in addition to an Axanar supporter and truth-telling blogger:
1. Alec Peters is not the divinely anointed King of Israel.
2. There is no archaeological or Biblical evidence to suggest the Philistines were particularly strict about enforcing their copyrights.
3. The David vs. Goliath battle was not precipitated by a "siege." The Israelite and Philistine armies were lined up on either side of a valley. And as far as I can tell, the Israelite army was not working "pro bono."
4. David's father asked him to go the battlefront and bring his brothers "parched corn and these ten loaves." There is no mention of sushi.
5. After slaying Goliath, David and the Israelites raided and "spoiled" the Philistines' camp. In other words, the donors got their perks.
I have a few issues with this analogy:
1. Alec Peters is not the divinely anointed King of Israel.
2. There is no archaeological or Biblical evidence to suggest the Philistines were particularly strict about enforcing their copyrights.
3. The David vs. Goliath battle was not precipitated by a "siege." The Israelite and Philistine armies were lined up on either side of a valley. And as far as I can tell, the Israelite army was not working "pro bono."

There's no direct evidence that the asset transfer to the investor group ever happened, so you shouldn't assume that it did. The whereabouts of at least half a million dollars Axanar had at the beginning of the year has been pretty well obfuscated between the rent, utilities and salaries, the rumors of money put in escrow, and so forth.

I have myself been considering a possible connection between the Rand of the FB post to the Rand of the FFF posts. And there it is.
I'm thinking this must be a recent recovery? Or possibly I have just missed it being talked about on this thread? To me this is pretty serious information; this regularly receiving instructions 'from' the defendant on who to attack, what to say, text to post.
Wait. Is Rand divulging that actual text was given to him to post as his own? Do you have any links to where I can read him talking about this? (If it is FB then I have no access if no-one is posting screenshots here
) I am interested in if the alleged instructions were texted/PMd/emailed/etc., thereby leaving a documentable trail. And/Or maybe direct voice to voice in telephone calls/skype/in person/etc. so Rand knew he was talking to the defendant personally. Or perhaps someone from the inner group passing the instructions to him.Fascinating. Terribly disturbing, but Fascinating.
