The Saga of CBS/Paramount vs Axanar Productions (aka "Falling Down the Mountain")I've said for years that a documentary about the people and the psychology of people who make these fan films would make for a fascinating project, if you could get everyone to agree to do it.
Also: if a documentary about this whole embarrassment about Axanar gets made, I sincerely hope it will be called Casting Dispersions.

No, but it has free cupcakes once a year
Aww, darn it!
Actually, we're still under the limit if you remove pages 234 - 254 which had us talking about hard boiled eggs
We did? Can't remember that far back!

Have a look
Nah, too much more important stuff to try to remember!
As defense counsel, may I make my argument. If you reduce Star Wars to its elements, every fanfilm by definition must be violating the rules, and you can't hold us responsible for something they don't follow themselves!

That was like listening to an R2D2 porno
You know, I've been jumping between TrekBBS and one of my astronomy forums this evening, and on coming back here I accidently clicked on my toolbar bookmark for the Star Trek Online forum. Noticing the Mirror Universe female in the banner, I decided to have a look for some fan art in their Ten Forward forum!
In it I noticed there is a thread on the lawsuit posted. Now, it's only 25 pages long, but reading page 25 only, it seems as if Online fans are discussing the lawsuit sanely and sensibly, including various links to the AxaMonitor site (go Carlos!).
So, in a forum where they could be considered to be a niche within a niche of Trek fandom (and if Star Trek Online is anything like World of Warcraft that I played, a LOT of it will be 'pew, pew, pew', and although I don't play Online, I did used to wargame FASA's Star Trek Starship Tactical Simulator for many years, so I am of like mind! It's why I liked Prelude to Axanar!), the sensible information is out there on other forums.

Where else might they be getting their info? I search axanar lawsuit and haven't really seen sources other than ones known here. Wondering if there are inside feeds from the Ares or the like...
Now here's what kickstarter for a media should be about
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mst3k/bringbackmst3k
presumably done by the IP holders, not some knockoff fan group, and obtaining the permissions for the films they do, even though they parody them
