Got questions? My private messages are open.

Good night, and thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
 
Ohh, now things are going to get interesting in here.

Part 2 : All of this has happened before... It will all happen again... wait I thought this was a sequel... not a reboot...

I'm getting a lot of da-ja-vu from all this, didn't we cover ALL this in part 1 of this thread ?

Oh right, they can't be bothered to look it up so we gotta do this all over again...

Still 30 days... This is the thread that never ends... Yes it goes on & on my friend...

Where's the movie Alac ? ( to be released the 12th of forever, of course )
 
I came on here to post a FACTUAL, update on Axanar. Not a useless opinion. a fact.
Okay, so you said you had Axanar updates, and then the rest of the long, rambling post has nothing about Axanar, but rather appears to be a lot of opinions about how the law works. By chance, are you a lawyer? Or at least, trained as a lawyer? Just so you know, the moderator here, @jespah, is an actual real-life lawyer. So, if you wish to debate how the law works, you came to the right place.
 
Okay, so you said you had Axanar updates[...]
I think that was in reference to the following...
Axanar Video Update # 6 – Shoot Dates Set!
By Alec Peters May 20, 2019 Axanar News
https://axanar.com/axanar-video-update-6-shoot-dates-set/
...Which some of us had trouble viewing since the site appeared to be down/banned/something, which elicited some quips, and then it was back working, prompting me to say...
It works now. Someone paid the hosting bill. ;)
After which angry TLDRs were delivered.

Thus I won't get your pointlessly, useless barbs.

Now. To respond to your insults:
This makes no sense.

I have original art far more complex than any you've posted and I've published books to boot.
And if someone went and tried to make money off of your artwork and published materials would that be ok with you?

Are they drawing personal pay from it?
Of course they are. They would be stupid not to and the set would never get built if they had to divide their Axanar work with their income work time.
If you want to make money from someone else's property, scrub off the serial numbers and change the bare minimum, like Seth McFarlane did with The Orville.

Don't just pay yourself a salary for making Star Trek without CBS' permission. That's stupid.
 
Don't just pay yourself a salary for making Star Trek without CBS' permission. That's stupid.
But it turned out to be "paying yourself for not making Star Trek" and in the process making it so no one else can make Star Trek.

Fortunately Vic was able to make 11 full episodes of Star Trek Continues before the roof caved in. Oh, and he did the first one with his own money to demonstrate that he could do it and then made 10 more episodes for significantly less than the 1.6 million dollars someone else used to make zero episodes.

That was a model of how crowd funding is supposed to work with no bull about "nothing is guaranteed" or "investing in crap is what everyone does".

But, as long as people are informed by this thread, which serves this purpose, then I have no problem with people donating money with full knowledge of the past evidence of failure.
 
First off.
I came on here to post a FACTUAL, update on Axanar. Not a useless opinion. a fact.
That's all.
The last thing I expected was to be hit on by a handful of pissed off children with no manners and I can promise you, it will be the last time I answer these pitiful complaints.

SO

To that end, I've used that cool, "IGNORE" button you can find when you click on the posters name, to weed you be-moaners out of my in-box.
Thus I won't get your pointlessly, useless barbs.

Now. To respond to your insults:
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Opinions Are Like Assholes.
If you knew anything at all about law which you apparently do not (and I can say that as fact due to your ignorance in producing what you mistakenly consider pertinent documents proving your pointless opinion), "You can sue anyone for anything".
The color of their hair, their offensive mouth wash, their offensive barbs on internet blog sites. ANYTHING.
There are no guidelines as to whether the case needs to be sound or for that matter, valid to be filed. Just state it, pay the fee and wait your venue.
What's more is you can sue for any amount too. $10, $100, $10,000 or millions or just "the principal of it".
But you can bet your life on this...
Not a lick of it matters in any way, shape, form or manner until you have a judgement in your favor and even then, it still really doesn't matter because it can still be contested and quashed as well.
So going around shooting your mouth off insulting people and using a frivolous, unanswered or unresolved case as ammo to back your whining is the work of a fool, because if the suit is quashed, as it so often is, you have then PROVED yourself to be the fool that you only looked like before.

Next.
Even if there is a judgement, it's only as good as the paper it's written on.
Enforcing judgments is a full time job as most are simply ignored, appealed or worked around.
In law, that's unofficially yet universally referred to as the "so what" argument.

Next.
None of us really care about what you invested (that's referred to as the "three sides" doctrine. The complainants story, the respondents story and the truth which lies somewhere in between) nor are we even concerned with your personal feelings (they are in point of fact, irrelevant), good or bad about it either.
If you have FACTUAL material to deliver, not hearsay matter or fraudulent or malicious accusations, then we want to hear about it.

-------------------------------------------
Incidentally fool:
Defamation is an area of law that provides a civil remedy when someone's words end up causing harm to your reputation or your livelihood. Libel is a written or published defamatory statement.
You blatantly opened yourself up to both those suits via this site.
--------------------------------------------

We care only about what we think. Why you would even consider that we really care about you or what you think, baffles me because we don't.
REALLY.
Besides, do you really think that if we wanted financial advice regarding this venture, we would consult with you???
I think not.

Next.
Don't make yourself look silly by issuing demeaning "red shirts" insults. It's ridiculous. Why the Mods don't get on you about it baffles me but it matters little anyway with this cool, IGNORE button.
You have no real importance here tiger.
For all you know, I could be the head of the US Secret Service recently signed on and I would happily bet that I'd outrank all of you, that being the circumstances, shirt or no shirt.
HONESTLY.
Rank here is nothing to brag about.
To earn a so called rank here, you don't have to be a leader, accomplish anything outstanding, be brave or kindhearted, or for that matter, even know what you're talking about much less be factual.
All you have to do is bore the dickens outa people with a couple thousand pointless, opinion posts as you've proven (factual)
There is no difference here between a red shirt and an admiral other than the total number of intelligent and unintelligent opinions you posted so don't flatter yourself. You look silly.

And last but certainly not least.
That you would dare to insult me or my art when I have art to display while you have nothing of any value or substance to give, blows my mind. The level of your profound, pompousness is nothing short of astounding.
Not only do I have dress up dolls (I'm in fact a critic of DAZ), I have original art far more complex than any you've posted and I've published books to boot.
In addition to that, I've been and am being paid to provide additional material to other clients as well.
Put you money where your colossally huge mouth is and show me what you've got to stand up against even the dress up doll child.
So you're trained as an attorney, I'm guessing? :techman:
 
Part 2 - We don't need no Education - Wait isn't that a double negative ? - Shouldn't it be we don't need any Education ?

Sometimes I wonder if people ever got an Education based on thinking they claim they 'know' how the law works, only to find out surprise, surprise, it don't work how you think it does... 9 times out of 10 it never works how you think it does...

Copyright Law & Intellectual Property Law is a lot more complicated & nuanced then the average person on the street thinks it is, it's not back & white or cut & dry, TV shows that do court room drama couldn't make it simple at all 'cause it's not...

This is why we turn to folks on this site who are professional lawyers & soforth as they know this stuff far better then the average bloke knows this stuff, it'd be nice if it was simple to digest, reduced to some kind of basic understanding...

Unfortunately the real world don't work that way... Maybe in some diluted fantasy world it does...

Still 30 days... More like 30 years... Feels like 90... Where's the movie Alac ?
( in case some folks are too young to know that 30 / 90 bit from the rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar )
 
Sorry about that, I have old fart syndrome, it kinda happens when you hit middle age ;-)

We're gonna fight for you... Put away your swords... There's no use to fighting... Don't you know that it's all over... It was nice... But now it's gone... Don't you worry about the future... Stick to fishing from now on...

Our 'new friend' made a basic error posting the image they made, for someone who 'claims' they know the 'law'
I'll just say any one of us can take the image they posted & make it our own by doing what they 'failed' to do
Even if they didn't post it the point still remains if it's like that on their website anyone can steal it outright
I won't say what the mistake is, as if they are really SMART they can figure it out themselves, right ?

Even I know better then to forget something so basic when I draw something by hand. Heck when I do my live streaming puppet show it's right there during the opening credits for all to see, to cover myself just in case someone decides to be a wiseguy and steal my show from me, well, the puppet part anyway, as the pre-recorded stuff I don't own, but riffing is protected by the law as it falls under commentary / parody / satire clause. Thank you Weird Al ;-)
