Q: Since the Guidelines do not allow DVDs/Blu-Rays to be distributed, what happens to the ones promised as perks in the Kickstarter and Indiegogo?

A: Donors will get the DVD/Blu-rays as promised! All perks are allowed to be delivered after we complete making Axanar in the revised format.

Q: The Kickstarter and Indiegogo said you would deliver a 90 minute movie, but now you can only make 30 minutes of Star Trek Fan Film. What can the donors expect here?

A: While we’ll comply with the requirements of limiting our fan film to two 15 minute segments, there will be more content that we know our fans will love on the DVDs/Blu-Rays While Adhering to the settlement agreement – we will only post the two segments to YouTube – we want to do what we can to make Axanar fans happy and be as close as possible to what we said we would deliver.

Q: What will happen to the Vulcan Scene?

A: The Vulcan Scene will remain publicly available on YouTube, as well as being on the Axanar DVD/Blu-Ray.

If I understand this correctly, they will only release 2x 15 minutes of the film on youtube, but the people who donated and choose the blu-ray/DVD perk will receive the whole film. So that would mean that the film on the youtube channel will be incomplete?
