None of the other fan films had anything like the budget Axanar did, not the calibre of actors (Peters' Garth notwithstanding). But I'd rather...
RE: Lane's latest blog. It sounds an awful lot like they're trying to get their excuses in early: "the Judge is hostile", "our lawyers might not...
But surely even Peters would have known that there's an imaginary line in the sand. Up till now, CBS/P left fan films alone, but on the other end...
I had no knowledge of Pedraza, Peters or Lane prior to the Axanar lawsuit news, so I was unaware of the history there, cheers for the...
Late to the party here, but RE: those Jonathan Lane posts about the Axanar case being heard in the Supreme Court... I actually like Lane's...
So Peters' legal team are Pro Bono? Weird... most lawyers I know think the U2 frontman really sucks.
You're completely wrong. By the way, did you know that there's a rare Andean breed of panda bear that eats rainbows for breakfast?
RIP. A sad loss. Although he was tragically young, his performances brought enjoyment to millions; he may be dead but film has made him immortal....
"Ménage a Troi and Transfigurations were really bad episodes. No way I'm going to watch the next one. I'll just skip it and wait for the VHS."
But given their extremely broad definition of "fair use", it amounts to the same thing. Steal someone's IP? Hey, that's fair use now! First Amendment!
Wouldn't that be a legal minefield, though, especially regarding writer, director and actor unions? I mean, if CBS wanted to use a clip of Axanar...
Maybe also these 'rules' are in place to cover his own ass. After sinking so much money into studio rent, Peters' pot is getting low, his friends...
That's a bit condescending - essentially Abrams fans are lowest-common-denominator stupid people who only tune in for the CGI and can't appreciate...
That's a bit of a stretch. When Peters was saying "this is what the fans want" and "all true Trek fans are behind me" we all laughed at the way he...
Exactly. Star Trek fans enjoy a thriving fan film community, and the news that CBS/P are looking into codifying some fan film 'rules' means that...
What exactly is Gene's vision? That in the future mankind will flourish? That we should aspire to be better than we are? To put aside petty...
But the PR sweet talk is the story here. "Company sues other company making knock-offs of its products" isn't really something new or interesting,...
Not so much Paramount groupies, but groupies of law and justice. It's no surprise that many Trek fans have a vested interest in the legal...
Happy to be corrected! Cheers! Although... the fact that a Marc Cushman parody account even exists is something I find extremely bizarre!
That 'donor' is actually Marc Cushman, author of the 'These Are The Voyages' non-fiction books that detailed the making of the original series....
