CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

I honestly think that you can be opposed to Alec, Terry, Axanar etc. AND be a fan and supporter of Fan films. If you don't like fan films you can just ignore them.. who care's if there is a youtube channel of Trek Fan Films?

But if you like Fan Films, you have to be bothered by what Axanar is doing. The idea that a Fan Film needs hundreds of Thousands of dollars, that they need multiple fundraisers, That's not true and lots of fan films prove that, it's too bad Axanar has been over shadowing them.

And at this point, despite what Axanar claims they are fighting against other fan films. I don't understand why they don't settle. Pushing CBS like this could force them to crush the entire community of fan films.
Sorry to ramble but my point is People who like fan films would like to see Axanar put out of bussiness, people who don't like fan films probably don't care enough to salivate over it.

I love fan films. I have supported two. We got Galileo into Continues for gosh sake.

But I cannot support the business practices of Axanar.
 
Mr. Peters by his own admission paid himself 38,000 in 2015 - which works out to approximately $18.00 per hour (quite above 'minimum wage' which is what he claims said salary equates to - and then there's also the deferred/unlisted salary amount he's paid his girlfriend.)

Probably ex girlfriend. He posted back in January that he was in a relationship with someone else. How or when she is getting paid is still a mystery, as getting paid as a co-producer of Axanar may increase her chances of getting named as a Doe.
 
Also, show me ANY other Star Trek fan film group that's paying their head producer (in Axanar's case Mr. Alec Peters, who ISN'T a member in any standing Hollywood union, SAG, WGA, PGA, etc.) - because I think that's one main difference between Axanar and EVERY other Star trek fan film group.

A $3099.00 line item was listed on the "Annual Report" for Union dues, which appears to be roughly the amount needed to join SAG.

Can you link us or screen shot?

The two fanfilms I am looking forward to see completed are Star Trek Aurora and whatever those Dutch guys come up with...

Once again: we do not need to focus on Peters & Kingsbury's romantic relationship or the alleged breakup. It has very little bearing on this case, and once again, it's going a step too far into this than we need to. Clearly, things ended amicably as Kingsbury is still working on Axanar and as recently as Friday had made some update somewhere, so I'm not quite sure why there's this insistence from some parties to go scrounging for more gossip. Surely there's enough legitimate news and discussion to be had about all the giant fucking errors and ineptitude of Peters throughout this entire debacle that we don't need anymore 90210 gossipy bullshit.

Let's not give Peters or his cult of Axanerds more fuel to erroneously attack or try to discredit those of us following the case, those of us posting on this board, and especially those of us with legitimate grievances against Peters/Axanar and his/their distasteful conduct. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: we're better than that. Let's be better than that.

In theory she's just goddess of fulfillment, but the LA area isn't a cheap place to live so either she has a second paying job or maybe she go paid. According to the podcasts last summer she was the only one getting paid for a while other than construction people.

What I meant was that I never saw a link...
