Star Trek / CBS just KILLED all fan fiction productions

[Darren Dirt]

I guess they just won a lawsuit.**

So...

Virtually EVERY SINGLE ONE of these items is pretty much a REQUIREMENT for any video production to be taken seriously by fans -- and thus be crowd-funded -- and I am sure that's the intent of these ridiculous rules.

Sure, it's their intellectual property, but they are shooting themselves in the foot here.

** against these guys -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prelude_to_Axanar ( https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Prelude%20to%20Axanar ) -- a fan fiction short that is SO GOOD that it made them scared, I guess. Because most of the Youtube comments are all like "if the Abrams films were of this nature, this kind of storytelling, THEN I would be super excited" etc.

This is not a good time to stab Star Trek fans in the back

cliffs: a key plot element of the first season of the underwhelming "Star Trek: Discovery" = stolen, plagiarized, uncredited, call it what you will] from a damn indie adventure game!

Hopefully soon in courts the fandom will get an idea just how dishonest underhanded scummy the CBS mothership megacorp will be in response to the claim.

DUDE HAS MAD PATIENCE, YO! He kept it private for almost a year, but due to CBS dickery he finally went public.

Trek had this problem way back in the 60s (in season 3 if I recall) where a story was almost identical to a fan work, I believe it was from then on that Trek writers were actually forbidden from interacting with the fan scene for legal reasons.
