CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

I have no doubt OSwriter received a threat. Whether it was legitimate or bluster I suppose is up for debate, but either way it's both illegal and terribly disturbing.
 
I still don't know if I believe there was a real threat. Some people will do anything to make their case/point.

On what basis is your doubt? Is it because you feel the statement is dubious, and therefore anyone who says it must be dubious? you probably missed it when he was posting here, but Skip is a respectable professional writer on legal matters. have a look at his blog here http://skipoliva.com/ . You won't find blogger tirades, you will find a real careful professional.

which is what people here, without insulting you, are trying to tell you. look at the info itself. try to pry loose of the framework of pat conclusions which you have heard so far and inspect the intellectual content of the arguments. your take will be interesting, but ya gotta look at it and think about it a bit to get the essence of the arugments.
 
Alec did just post that he was aware that a threat may have been made to Oswriter and that it was unacceptable. Kudos for that...but he did of course take some pot shots at the 'haters' and reasserted that they are the real Trek fans.

So his announcement is going to prove Skip wrong about things? That should be interesting. I would actually be impressed if he managed to swing something with CBS/Paramount.

On the other hand, he's still lost my support. Guy is a grade A jerk, as evidenced by that post slamming people for hateful rhetoric by using... hateful rhetoric.

Pot. Kettle. Black.
I imagine it's that he found "Pro-Bono" representation...
 
our announcement today will show that he was flat out wrong about some things.
Any info on where I will watch for the announcement?

And thanks, jespha, for the screen grab because since I don't have a Facebook account I am unable to see anything there.

there are enjoyers or the *real* space aliens and enjoyers of the *fake* space aliens, and then there are those building rockets, flying them, discovering planets, and working on the physics of transluminal drives. Which arena is the biggest tempest *in a teapot*? give me a break...

Hasn't he been promising a big announcement since yesterday?
 
Was he wrong about "some things" like asking people for money using someone else's IP and then using it to build a business?

If not, he's a lot less wrong than the Axanar people.

Yup. And please don't interpret my "I would be impressed" for actually believing that his announcement will be anywhere close to that earthshattering.

I agree with @SuperSpaceMan -- he probably found a lawyer, and thinks the case is now won.
