The part that concerns me the most:
...indicates that CBS may yet decide to stomp on Axanar's balls if they get too big.
Axanar dropped a plot spoiler about a month ago
- Thread starter Phantom
- Start date
I am the AxaNinja. I command staggering fees and I do the dirty work Peters doesn't want to get involved with. There was a hobo who gave him a dirty look on the way to Ares Studios once? You don't... you just don't even to know.
(Actually I'm just a casual fan on the forum. I'm known for being the guy who got sick of people perpetually speculating about CBS dropping the hammer with zero indication that there's any genuinely new news about them doing so, and for being of the opinion that it would have happened already if it was going to happen. I also like daisies, horses, long walks in the sunset and people who follow their dreams. And Joe, of course.)

So, YOU'RE who the Kickstarter fees are going to!
I admit, like I said yesterday in the Renegades thread, I got a little heated up about the Axanar finances stuff right there and then (mainly because it was the first I'd heard any of it). But I'm staying out of it. I have no horse in this race. I'd love it to be a good production. That's pretty much where I'll leave it.
No.
Their message is that no should be making money off of their IP. Nothing more, nothing less. Plus, I don't think they're worried about Axanar looking like a pro job for a third of what it costs to produce a single episode of Game of Thrones.
Especially, from someone who has never ran this kind of project before.
I KNEW IT! To blazes with Morton Downey Jr. You are the REAL "Agent Provocateur"!

That's a misrepresentation of the purpose the lawyer serves in the article and his quotes. He's a third-party expert providing context to the situation with no targ in the fight.

Heh... Whenever the term "expert" is used, red flags go up in my head. It should probably be defined at some point.
These thing are all relative but in matters of IP and studio properties, I think it is likely this guy knows more than anyone here or commenting on that article.
^^^ Fair enough. Good definition. 
That was a fascinating article. Thank you for sharing.
CBS' comments were standard corporate speak, as BillJ put it. Honestly, CBS has the right to shut it down at any point that they feel infringed. I'll never fault them for that.
Peters' comments were also very interesting to me as well, in an amusing way. I'm not sure what to think at the moment and will have to give that some time to digest.
Given how big this is becoming legal action is always a shadow.
I don't know where you're getting that from. They interviewed Peters and a lawyer about the topic. That's not hostility, that's called due diligence.
Are there errors? Yes. The comments in the comments section are a joke; people dismissing the article entirely because of a typo, or the fact that the writer didn't mention Soval's name. Who cares?
It's not another mindless fluff piece which the production is oh so happy to trumpet about every time they're written, but it's not like the Wrap is shitting on Axanar either. The point of the article is pretty clear, and certainly not hostile toward Axanar. It's just pointing a very specific spotlight toward it.
