Also, a youtube live stream in itself is a money making opportunity, in the form of superchats (donations from viewers participating in the chat.)

Not when they just turned off the chat.

I don't think they wanted to see people talk about their computer overheating.
 
Every livestream they've done that I've seen (admittedly only a few this year) was monetized with superchat donations coming in throughout.

Those were just alec talking. A lifestream of the filming of axanar would be different and I'm almost sure that would be a violation. He absolutely can't monitize the actual film and I think a livestream of it being filmed would fall in the same category.

Yeah, but we're talking about the guy who re-used the phrase that got his ass sued by two corporations. "Not that dumb" is not a phrase I'd ever use to describe him or anyone allied with him.
 
and I don't think they can monitize the livestream. That would be a clear violation of the settlement and they are not quite that dumb
Um, yes, Alec Peters IS that dumb. he thinks that because he set up Ares studios as a separate company - he's clear; but as the lawsuit named HIM personally as well, and Ares studios IS soliciting funds publicly (the message on the website) for the creation of a Star Trek film -- Yeah, AP is just praying CBS won't pull the trigger on calling for Arbitration.

At this point I'm ire every penny he gets is going somewhere where he'll maintain access - but doesn't formally have his name attached to the account. (OH and if you think GoFundMe cares? Nope. At least not until they see a Warrant or Subpoena) -- they're happy to grab their fees and feign ignorance that anything related to a copyright violating project is occurring.)

I really don't know how he avoids it at this point.

He honestly believes they (CBS) would want to 'avoid bad publicity' and do something he still in his mind believes would turn all of Star trek fandom against them and hurt their new Star Trek ventures.

He's wrong of course - but I think he still believes that's what CBS is worried about WRT any further actual arbitration/civil court action against him - so they won't go past a certain point.
