    It sure seems that podcasts, emails, and testimony of colleagues would carry a lot more weight about the "willfulness" that might have been active at the time. Clearly, Axanar Productions *never* internally said they intended to replace CBS/Paramount or build any sort of profitable asset off of their fan's money...:lol:

    All I can tell you is that very early on LFIM contrived a reasoning why Axanar wasn't infringing on Star Trek. What I can't tell you is if someone convinced him it wasn't due to the script being based on a non cannon book or if he came up with that himself in order to get people to join his scheme.
    I wasn't convinced and quickly dropped any interest I might have had in the project.

    The jury will probably be instructed that the at-the-time podcasts, etc. are to be given more weight than the conclusions of someone who wasn't there and didn't/doesn't really know defendant Peters.

    I think it probably it will probably be argued he felt they "weren't using it" and that Axanar was "doing more for the franchise" than the studios, therefore any excess was okay: http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/cbs-paramount-sues-to-stop-axanar.278077/page-388#post-11458044

    But of course this leaves out building a studio to own all his selfsies.

    Your honor, what the Defenants said on the podcast was not an indication of intent to infringe. Clearly, it was "locker room talk."

    Before long, there will be an AI behind these.

    Is there some record of this contrivance somewhere that you recall?

    So

    1. no matter the actions taken by a business, if you are friends with the business owner, you should make false statements without limit about that activity, and never criticize or withdraw from that activity, because loyalty is the highest truth.

    2. hope (that your desire will come true just because you wish it, to co-own and co-profit from a valuable IP at no cost to you) is always more worthy than law and the basic goals of IP protection, because, well, its *hope*, and that's always a positive.

    3. loyalty and hope are so virtuous (I mean, look at the words (not what they are being attached to)), that the argument is won just because of this shining light. Those who would ever ask for the attached actions to be examined on their own merits are just haters who bring only darkness.
