Now they have a GoFundMe for a guy that became unemployed. Not that I do not sympathize with somebody in that situation - I have been in that predicament several times before myself but ... SERIOUSLY????

Yep - and the hilarious thing is : It legally would count as: "Using AXANAR - which is a copy written part of CBS' STAR TREK IP in this situation - to PUBLICLY crowdfund and pay for something for a member of the "fan film" production crew.
^^^
Which, yes, is an outright clear violation of Alec's settlement agreement with CBS. They are using AXANAR by name to get money for a member of (IE paying him) the AXANAR crew.

What do you think Viacom is going to do about this once their new board of directors settle in. Another law suit or we'll log into our youtube account one day one day to find all our Fan Film content has been removed?

You have to be a bit sympathetic to his situation, but that is ridiculous.
 
Is that a DS9-era laptop? Wouldn't that be like a contemporary action film using the original Mac PowerBook?

Pretty sad that the part of the image that draws the eye first is the folds in the shirt. Ugh.
 

.......and I didn't think there were any idiots left in this world

I hate to admit, but I was hoping he wouldn't be able to actual get enough. It was Lane's people's screw up, so he and/or they should have been the ones to pay for it.

I was also hoping he wouldn't get enough to pay for it. I agree with you, him and his people should've been the ones to pay for the green screen, not beg for more money. He should've taken more responsibility for it.

Donor emails today about something being able to be shipped from the donor store, and something about being able to purchase Ares uniform patches. I also got the one the other day about the guy that they set up the GoFundMe for. They didn't even promise a patch this time like they did on a previous situation they did a GoFundMe for (never got that patch either) three or four years ago.

Was it?
I have a set of queen sized GREEN bed sheets but with the magic of Hollywood it's a green screen valued at five thousand dollars.
Is it?
I would not know. All I do know is $5,000 will buy a person over 700 yards of Ottertex® Canvas Waterproof (Kelly green is one color selection) Is 700 yards a lot?
These are matters I can't speak to but if life has taught me anything, question everything and the source it comes from.

This just wasn't some green sheet, it was a fully professional quality, very large greenscreen. Johnny should have been way more careful
