CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

Not open for further replies.
It appears some folks over on Kickstarter want to get the legal ball rolling against LFIM. From what someone posted in C/P vs Axanar over on facebook, they're looking for a backer that lives in CA (presumably to find a lawyer?) and then for someone to post the link to that facebook group (C/P vs Axanar) in the comments

"Hi there, is that Winston and Strawn? Great. It's me, Alec Peters and I - hello? Hello?"

I notice it has been more than a week since Peters has replied to anyone there. Is he hiding or did he get banned?
 
How can AP afford to travel to London right now?



Oooohhhhh....
What? British Airways trades seats for Cupcakes now. ;)

Alec Peters only spends time of stuff that gets him 'donations'. Since the Settlement basically said he can't use Kickstarter (and any Public funding source); he could care less what's said on there at this point because he'll never use it again for funding (and yes, I'm saying after whatever form 'Axanar' takes is released - Alec Peters will never do another Star Trek fan film project again.)

"We never set out to have a sound studio"

No, you just added it to your personal benefits list after a bunch of money came your way. What you "set out" to do became irrelevant when you abandoned that and moved on to concrete acts of personal enrichment off of donors. The studio has remained through everything your personal property, not the asset of a nonprofit or a shareholding company. You made off with the value of all the money invested in it, no matter what story you tell about how it came about.

And blame the entire professional staff departure on Mr. Gossett? Then why didn't they come back after he left? Any of them? At all? After all, you still had the money, the story, the sets, the facility, and your talented leadership to offer.

Alec does not like Trump at all, yet I find both very similar in that they try to alter facts to fit their views. I think Tom Baker says it best:

Alternative facts indeed! LOL

Cool - he actually responded. Given that I had to post a reply there:

Oh please Alec. Your spin is just amazing because you know that:
The financials your Defense team submitted WOULD have been introduced as evidence at trial by CBS/Paramount - and Alec WOULD have been questioned UNDER OATH about them. And said testimony would have been part of the Public trial record available for anyone to see/read
^^^
That's a whole different situation then your group of "independent group of donors (hand picked by you and supplied with a SUBSET of the actual financials that you alone have decided to share with them.)

Again, if you were so certain you'd either prevail in court outright; or win on Appeal (hell, you yourself said you were ready to go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court with this case); not to mention your views on the Star Trek Fan Film Guidelines that came about BECAUSE of this case; it strikes me as odd you'd accept a settlement that forces you to comply with said guidelines in making 'Axanar'; WITH the one notable exception that you can make use of all the Hollywood/Star Trek actors that originally appeared in "Prelude To Axanar" - but that's what you did - accepted such a Settlement.

As to who's word I believe when it comes to Christian Gossett or yourself as to what happened with regard to the production of "Prelude to Axanar" - since Christian Gossett is a person actually working professionally in the Hollywood film industry to this day - with multiple films to his credit VS a person (you) who dreams/talks big - but 1.4+ million dollars and 3 years laters has 2 minutes and 30 seconds of footage - yeah, there's no contest.
