CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

Status
Not open for further replies.
Has Carlos really done that stuff Alec is claiming? I find it a hard to believe he would be that much of a hypocrite since he's the one who's been calling out Peters for doing that kind of shit.

Carlos has steadily ("stalkingly") reported confirmed ("stalkingly" called for confirmation) information that causes legitimate and spot on accurate detailed criticism ("bullying") and repeated ("harassing", didn't you read the denials and the calls to just let it go and "independent reviews" by close associates) demands for *actual* accounting.

As for threats of any personal nature against any Axanar person, I would not know. They are free to document them. Threats against anyone would be deplorable if they existed.

It is a bit more difficult to be believed about anything if you spend your public facing comments misleading everyone about millions of bucks over a course of years. And its hard to claim to be the 'victim' of accurate criticism after the fact, as being the *cause* of why you robbed fans in the first place. But you can float the illogic balloon anyway and see if it flies. Generalized outrage always can get some mileage against 100% accurate fact. (And there wasn't *unanimous* WTF in the face of retroactively claiming to never have paid salaries *because* your plug-the-overspend billpaying for the rent constituted repaying of a 'loan' that you called 'salary' last year. :whistle: )

It really is a shame that what appears to be a legit business has gotten dragged into all of the Axanar BS. But if they knew who Alec and the Axanar team were and got involved with them anyway, then they did kind of bring it on themselves. I'm sorry but at this point you'd have to be pretty stupid if you knew who Alec was and what he's done, and still go involved with him or his people on a Trek related project.

Lots of fans don't watch what's going on. Most the facts are confined to a few venues that are not widely read. Not saying what they did or didn't know, I can't speak to that. Just saying its reasonably likely they wouldn't know enough details to really give pause.

Did Alec just puffery his way out of his latest corporate sponsorship?

Oh shit!

Yea, if they can him explicitly for this, I don't really see him surviving this one as a welcome fan leader for any property.

Corporations big enough to have staff to enforce ADA and other such regulations typically have zero tolerance policies for violence, and in this moment, that's amplified many times. I suspect a corporate disavowal and official distancing from the remark and the project, and thoroughly burnt toast coming.

What are the chances a corporation will stand in support of such a post on the permanent record at this moment by keeping their name on Alec's operation? Risking the press when fb questions asking their position aren't met with absolute disavowal? We will see.

Maybe OWC, CBS/P, W&S, and MGM (and Fox in the wings?) can create an annual therapy retreat for themselves and bill Axanar.

I suspect an early warning indicator could be the PR about their sponsorship disappearing on http://therocketworx.com/ (scroll down to the 'blog'). Also anything appearing here https://www.owcdigital.com/search/results?search=alec+peters or here https://www.owcdigital.com/search/results?search=lawrenceville . These sort of things would tend to be done with an official statement by the company, and on Alec's side in Alec's usual way, teardown 'as if it never happened' of related materials online. Perhaps a statement that they are going to call it 'theRocketworxStudio' or something.

Its unbelievable. A human target full of bullet holes on what he calls his wall, saying on the permanent public record: who could blame a fan for putting a detractor's head on the picture. Un f**ing believable.

So when exactly did @carlosp advocate violence against Mr. Peters?? I must have missed that memo.
If someone 'joked' (and I use the term loosely as I'm not a fan of such so-called jokes) about anything violent against AP, it was never Carlos. I'm serious. If they're going to get angry at someone for that, then he's not their (no pun or urging intended) target.
 
Eventually LFIM is going to do something that will get his ass back in a sling. Aside from maybe Bawden, there's no one in his inner circle who seems to have more than two working brain cells at the moment (i.e. they're not that smart)

Between his latest fundraising machinations and now this Cryptominer code on Axanar's site - this sums it up quite nicely.........

So, question, is the Axanar Productions website running a crypto miner? Visited the site yesterday and my cpu usage spiked like crazy, so I checked the code and it seems to includes code for the coinhive miner.

Can someone explain this to me, a week or two ago I had to restart my computer after I opened the Axanar Productions website because my cpu usage spiked to ridiculous levels....
 
LFIM is now crypto-mining to pay the bills? (and surreptitiously using anonymous visitor machines to help)

Axanar really *is* the gift that keeps on giving... to someone.

Do you suppose he even knows it is there? Maybe they are hacked...

I suggest for anyone who really wants to avoid this use uMatrix on chrome.

Huh...I always thought the CPU meter getting pinned had to do with those massive Tobias Richter space battle videos they integrated into the site's background. Interesting...this guy...
I thought so to, when I visted a few weeks back....but the spike was too large and unusual for it to be a graphics thing.
 
Back in the podcasts when they sat around and mocked Ms. Nichols' Jehri Curls in the movie, I suppose one could see it all coming.

I wonder if any timestamp is going to emerge on that target practice posting...
 
Is fanfilmfactor.com infected as well?

Neil

Couldn't see anything (went to the site, right-clicked, selected 'View Page Source' and then did a Ctrl+F to try and find 'coin' and 'coinhive'). Of course, I'm also running NoScript and uBlock Origin here on firefox.........
