STC: To Boldly Indiegogo

Yes, the video was posted yesterday, so probably just hours before the Horizon news broke.
It says the video was posted 7 hours ago which equals to past midnight for me, which is also when I saw the tweet and followed the link to watch it.

The Horizon news and following discussion I read yesterday in the early morning already.

So even if the video was filmed before, they surely wouldn't have posted it if there was any trouble?

*clings to straws*

I was referring to when it was uploaded to Vimeo, but yes, they did go ahead with it on social media after the Horizon story.
 
Think the donation rate has picked up slightly today.

Edit: Showing 40% now, so I guess that's around $3,500 in a day.

The "Webby's" have concluded and the winners will be announced on Tues. Last time I checked, STC had a pretty good lead, about 47% and 2nd place was around 28%. I think they recalculate, get rid of clones and multiple votes, but hopefully STC maintains the lead and wins their category. It would be a nice boost in recognition.
 
That would be a great recognition!

Is it my imagination or has the pace picked up a little in the past two days?

I wish I had some serious money to donate and help them out. STC has delivered on everything they promised the fans. They, like many others, don't deserve to be painted in any way similar to Alec Peters and Axanar.
I totally agree with this and whilst I have nothing but his online persona to go on I'd be prepared to believe Alec Peters would be very pleased to see STC and the rest go down, irrespective of whatever wanky PR they publish after the fact.

It's significant that practically his first response to the lawsuit was to duck behind other fan films like human shields by saying "They infringe more!"

Yes, lets not forget some of the most vicious attcks on STC have been from his ilk.
 
Sadly, unless something dramatic changes, it's clear they're not going to come close to their drive goal.
 
Slow day on th' ol' Indiegogo page, that's for sure. Horizon effect? :(

Even in difficult times, STC would seem the safest fan film investment. With their charitable status, their finances are an open book.

When all is said and done they'll be able to afford one episode and perhaps start another. Is Ep. 7 (to be released in September) paid for? Presently that goal of a 13 episode run seems rather iffy. Then again if this Axanar crap could be resolved reasonably quick and if no other productions are halted then maybe the air will clear and fan trepidation will fade away.

I've has my qubbles with STC, but overall I'm really quite pleased with their efforts. I really want to see them complete their 13 episode run.

I'm also curious as to what Vic and company might do after STC has run its course.
 
It would be passing weird if a federally-approved 501(c)(3) charity were told to stop operating on grounds that the very charitable purpose for which it was created violated federal law.

Anyway, I keep circling back to the fact that it's CBS Marketing who made the call to Tommy Kraft: in other words, product confusion as part of the legal theory. Nobody is going to mistake a TOS clone for being the hot new Star Trek property we've heard about.
