Yes I would, for two reasons:

1. As you suggested, AP would likely not allow the use of his Axanar sets without money changing hands, and the last thing I want is more fan money going into his pockets . The motherfucker needs to get a non fan job and support his family like a man instead of promising rainbows to trek fans for cash.

2. As for Axanar itself, as far as I'm concerned it has as much business calling itself trek as Discovery, and any fan film that would use its trappings would be diminished in my eyes and not worthy of my support.

I am both anti-Axanar and anti-Alec Peters. I want to see them and all related material erased from fan creation. I want Axanar dead. I want the Ares sets struck. I want Alec Peters managing the local Krispy Kreme. I want fan creation to roll on without them.
All valid points but I differ slightly. Peters was never a Trek fan film creator, at best he mimicked already created material and did it poorly.
If you want to be a Star Trek fan film creator you don't simply revisit some TOS plot and re tell it. You create something that Gene might have but didn't. The Tressaurian Intersection for one. That's the talent of creation A.P never had. He's a ghost who never existed in the fan film world. I don't know that about all those who created the Aries sets.
 
Part 2 - Oh you got to be kidding me - Oh wait forgot this is Alac Peters we're taking about - The Sequel no one asked for

AP : You get a lawsuit... and you get a lawsuit... everyone gets a lawsuit...

Still 30 days out, right ?
 
Not to defend Peters, but many fanfilms merely mimic already created material, and do it poorly.
Sure do. fans get together, battle the Klingon, beat the Gorn and pet their Tribble and that's all good. What they don't do is raise millions of dollars, demand you praise their every video frame, call everyone that don't "Haters and threaten to sue other fans.
