"I see that you are not a donor."
That kind of gave me douchebumps.

Douchebumps ...
Thank you for that wonderful addition to my lexicon, sir! I use it with great care!
Try "Alec Peters, Jr." -- I seem to recall that's what was in the securities filing that was posted earlier.
Last weekend it was sushi. Tonight, they're goin' for teppan!
I'm not trying to take a dig at Renegades--even though, I didn't like it, aside from the ship design and seeing Walter back in uniform. For me, outside watching this all play out, it feels like it's losing steam, and then the chilling effect from the Axanar nuclear winter, I just think Renegades is going to be the first domino to fall without CBS having to C&D the production.
Oh, that's news to meWe are moving forward with filming our last episode of Renegades, The Requiem. If CBS issues us a C&D we will, of course, stop and that will be it for it for STR. We have over 3000 fans that have donated to the Kickstarter, we cant just sit around wondering about the Axanar lawsuit and if we are next. Need to move on and get this episode done.
We have seen no direct evidence that suggest we (or STC and STNV ) will get shut down. Para/CBS has a case with Axanar, we cant live in fear over it, we just need to make sure everything is done the right way.
"CBS and Paramount are are like your parents. You want to do your own thing, but if you don't respect them, they will take the keys to the car away from you. "
I wish you all the best of luck, I honestly do. And I would Axanar too, how the heads of the production not shown that the only thing faster than the speed of light is how fast they can behave like whiny douches when told no.
I suppose it is some kind of progress that the Indiegogo page finally acknowledges the lawsuit - but then you actually read the part where it says: "PLEASE NOTE: As of 1/30/15 Axanar Productions has been served with a lawsuit by CBS for copyright infringement."
So, they were served by the lawsuit nearly a year ago?
Of course, even if it is just a mistake, it doesn't exactly fill one with confidence that they would be able to manage money properly, if they struggle with the simple stuff... like getting the date right...

Dunno, I kinda like the statement above that one in the same comment:
Because, y'know, his pennies are the most important pennies! Without his pennies, you're sunk!
Huzzah! I think by this logic my sister in law owns Farscape.
I'm gonna ask her for a loan.

What I find both funny and sad about this is that these guys are about to learn how much their "ownership" of Axanar is worth.
I would have expected this notice to be coming from IndieGoGo, but as written, it looks like it's actually from Axanar Productions. Very odd that IGG hasn't intervened.
"PLEASE NOTE: As of 1/30/15 Axanar Productions has been served with a lawsuit by CBS for copyright infringement. We take this issue seriously and will be posting updated on our website www.axanarproductions.com."
I hope, for their sake, that it's some unaffiliated user who happens to have that username...
I would think actually donating to Axanar, for whom they are collecting money to assist with the infringement of Paramount/CBS IP, would set them directly in the lawyers' sights...
I can just hear the deal, though. "Nah, it'll be fine, Alec. Here, we'll even contribute to your legal fund! Just keep paying our fees..."
I'd ask if he closed out that comment with "Just my two cents..." but it sounds like he's as cheap as he is idiotic.
Wow! I can see they totally care for the welfare of the donors!
Remind me never to run a campaign there, just on general principle.
Warning: tangent alert!
They got sued because they had been cited several times for serving coffee at a temperature much higher than the maximum safe temperature, they kept ignoring all the incidents and injuries, and a woman needed skin graft surgery on her genitals as a result. She asked just for enough money to cover the cost of surgery and McDonalds blew her off.
Everybody knows the McDonalds case was a stupid lawsuit that should never have gone anywhere because duh, coffee is hot. Everybody is wrong. Funny how that widespread misconception works to the benefit of the big corporation instead of the old lady who burned her crotch off.
See the Journal of Commercial and Consumer Law from the Texas State Bar for the facts: http://www.jtexconsumerlaw.com/V11N1/Coffee.pdf.
