CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

Status
Not open for further replies.
So someone in the CBS/Paramount v Axanar Facebook group posted a picture of Alec Peters accepting an award for "Star Trek: Renegades," saying he was the only representative of that production there.

That's interesting. Peters is still involved with Renegades?

Only thing he is involved in is which Diana to publically appear with this week
 
Has anybody seen Tom around to ask him about Peters and Renegades?

Been reading the thread, very informative. Had to say that the pictures in this blog entry cheap me out. He has to put his arm around everyone. Gross.
They asked him to say a few words before the fan film awards. I bet he gave a nice long speech about how to get your ass sued by CBS and Paramount. If not, than fan film makers should probably just do the opposite of any advice he gave.
 
CBS has to get across that Alec Peters hasn't stumbled onto a golden ticket here.

This. Alec probably thinks he is like the leader of Napster and even if Axanar is totally disassembled, he will reemerge and be wealthy from it. Problem is, Axanar is more like some fan musicians doing a cover, and simply saying they have this great idea for a Napster. They haven't actually built their alternative streaming network. They don't have the skills to build it or staff already assembled to do it. There's no great business value they have built which can survive the takedown, other than the donors, and that doesn't have a repeatable shelf life.

And studios just aren't going to let 'independent [your IP]' productions raise millions and do as they please with new technologies. They just aren't.

Wow. They raise "almost $500" in a three-day event. Amazing.

Pay our expenses to attend. Sweet.

Way to come out ahead for the weekend.

Another morsel for discovery and eventually, for donors.

The Kool-Aid is surprisingly strong

Probably everclear sangria.

Love how he accepted an award on behalf of Renegades after some of the things he has said about that project.

And above they are quoted as having 'paid for the plaques' or some such for these fan awards. What is Axanar doing paying for such a thing? Or was it a personal gift?

The new logo for Axanation.


(Edit: Dang! Great minds, eh?)
 
And with one slight change, BoredShipCapt'n, Axanar's strategy for the building changes
This could be huge! You know the Orion girls would be real moneymakers.

Edited to add: But wait. That would be illegal. Surely the Axanar prince (see what I did there?) would never knowingly break a law.
