CBS/Paramount sues to stop Axanar

[Shaka Zulu]

I'd say it also worked out pretty good for The Search for Spock, The Voyage Home, The Undiscovered Country, First Contact and Insurrection.

As I said, for a while, and for THOSE movies.Then the cheapness of the movies began to be noticeable, compared to other sci-fi films, and the series suffered because of it.

Since Peters had to bindingly agree to not assert any copyright claims in Axanar, I want to see some fan film production out there raise $50K via crowdfunding and make (a better) 2x15min Axanar themselves.

Or a parody Making Of film that lambasts the whole thing...

New on AxaMonitor: io9 chronicles the 100 most important moments in pop culture history since it began publication 10 years ago. Axanar ranks No. 54, which is fine, but most of what io9 describes is simply wrong. Here's AxaMonitor's fact-check.

You lost me at io9.......they are simply rubbish.

Understandable. However, the eight-sentence description is likely a good barometer for how the general public now views the Axanar case.

I love that is says the new version "has yet to be released"...............hard to release something that will most likely never go in front of a lens........

Yeah, I pointed that out in the article.

Axanar lawyers are going to argue they are not doing anything different that any other fan production. They just have more money. It will put all fan productions in jeopardy as they have crossed an invisible line for CBS/Paramount.

That is a REALLY scary thought.

Never heard of Axanar but I'm at they're site now and I'm intrigued. I really hope to Q that Paramount loses this lawsuit. As 9gs seemed to imply, this could screw EVERYONE making fan-creations related to "Star Trek."

There's 1652 pages on it in this thread. Read up. Paramount wasn't the bad guy and the lawsuit was over a year ago..............

The lawsuit ended months ago. People are still making fanfilms.

You lost me at io9.......they are simply rubbish.

And if you read the Axamonitor article - it SHOWS why IO9 is rubbish (IE All the 'facts' RE:CBS/Paramount V. Axanar that IO9 got wrong...)

Spoiler: Paramount didn’t lose.
