wow, i'm a bit awestruck now. hi jespah, how're you doing, i've seen/heard your work and i'm a big fan - thanks for translating all the legal gibberish of the court documents. one question please, i think you ran the closed "possible class action v axanar" group on facebook (i don't remember the name) back then. were donors interested in following such a path? or did they mainly just give up on their couple of dollars? thanks & BR
 
Yeah, I would anticipate any class action lawsuit would get pennies on the dollar in the best circumstances, not to mention the fact that there's no money to be had anyways. It's all spent. So, for anyone who didn't donate insane sums to the project, searching the cushions of your couch would probably be a much easier way to find the same amount of money.
 
I don't donate on social platforms for an unproven product. I already had my cheap lessons.
It's okay, wasn't like a million dollars or anything life altering. Just a cool concept that resulted in some nice posts of a guy on a jet ski before going off-line.
One may as well buy a share of CBS, you'll have about the same say in what's produced and how it happens.
You might find yourself better off by joining a fan film group and donate some time. talent or a little cash to help a project come to life.
I don't know, I've been seeing a few new groups asking for a thousand or two so they can make the next exciting Trek vignette in 15 minutes or less. I wish them well but I don't get excited.

Hey! :D

I put on my tiara the same way as everyone else. ;)

There was a class action group. It didn't get a lot of interest from donors and it also didn't get a lot of interest from attorneys. The better time to have gone through that would have been over a year ago, before all the cash was kaput.

...So creating a robot that puts a tiara on your head sounds like something she'd actually do.

Awesome and thank you. :)
 
Pulse yeah!!!

So...more uncharacteristic overly-racist crews, talk about betting "Ensign Stripes" when the Starfleet Ensign grade has no stripes, a direct clunky quote from ST6-TUC, etc., etc., and that was all only on page 1! :lol:

The rest of it wasn't too bad. The artist better be careful, though. Making the Apollo's Captain Jefferies more crazy-heroic than Lord Garth might earn him an uncomfortable spot on AP's enemies list. Nobody should be more heroic than him!

The problem always being, the fans, being fans, have extreme emotional investment in the things they have spent so much time watching/reading/listening, etc. They feel that particular something is "theirs", in the most abstract definition of the word. They feel they know more about the thing that those who actually own it do (which may be a correct statement) but in the full emulsion of that thing, they lose connection with the more objectively mundane legal aspects of that ownership.

"Fan" is the short form of the word "fanatic", after all. :)
