Here in the UK i'm on the website fine. Nothing's changed from the other day when I checked, Tony Todd is still front and center on the cast list.
You'd think if they could do ONE thing, it would be taking off the big picture of the cast member who publicly said he wouldn't work with them ever again.

Back up here too. And I appreciate the unlicensed use of my IP in your sig, ProfessorMoriarty.
The issue I have with this theory is that, as far as I can see anyway, the elements of the Abramsverse that he's pulled in are quite minimal. Paramount likely knows the CBS unwritten policy, and if they wanted him to not use certain elements, they could have just asked, and IMO probably would have; it's a lot cheaper than a lawsuit if they don't care about the rest of the non-nuTrek IP.
It's more likely that Paramount is involved because this is, essentially, a professional feature film production, and that's Paramount's bailiwick. They may have started it, but if they did, it probably would have happened whether he used nuTrek stuff or not.
JMHO.
I'm thinking about crowdfunding my own educational video series: "SO YOU'VE DECIDED TO STEAL CBS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY"
Make sure you get a salary....
Speaking hypothetically, the donors might have a cause of action for fraud. But this would require proof Peters or Axanar made intentional misrepresentations with intent to defraud AND the donor reasonably relied on such misrepresentations.

It seemed appropriate to appropriate.
I would be happy to take it down if you promise not to sue me, but I do appreciate a good turn of phrase and wanted to share your wordsmithery.
Here's the National Anthem for the First Republic of Axanar

I honestly wouldn't fault him for that. He probably does have some sort of license to use Todd's likeness due to his participation in Prelude, so having him on the web site is fine. Disingenuous, but whatever.
What I take issue with is the lack of warning on the fundraiser page that they're being sued. That kinda falls under the "obliged to disclose" category IMO. Some people are probably seeing Prelude on YouTube and then going and donating without ever becoming aware of the lawsuit.
That's a problem.
Unbelievable the circles these people will run around in to cling to any kind of hope now (in the comments section)...

Haven't seen this one here yet. Much to my surprise, it would seem that Jerry Doyle (of B5 fame) is also drinking the Kool-Aid.
I think I'll just... get back to work.
Doyle's a butthead from way back. It would be difficult for him to say something stupid enough to surprise me.

I grant you a non-exclusive Alpha Quadrant-wide license.
Convenient that they left out the dissenting replies to Gerrold's post.
oh?
