http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/12/cbs-paramount-sue-crowdfunded-star-trek-filmmakers-for-copyright-infringement/quote:On Tuesday, lawyers representing CBS and Paramount Studios sued Axanar Productions, a company formed by a group of fans attempting to make professional-quality Star Trek fan-fiction movies, for copyright infringement. I don't know what is worse: the fact that they are fans of that stinking pile of poo poo called Star Trek, or that they thought they could raise over a million dollars and make their own. Someone needs to line up these pimpled uber nerds against a wall and shoot them.

I never understood fan films. Why put all that time and money into a production you can never make money off or even own? You might as well make something original with the same resources so you can own the copyright. Or they could have just changed the names of everything, and said "its a sci fi short that's a loving homage to sci fi that inspired like Star Trek and [other shows]" in the press release. If you do it the nudge nudge wink wink way, fair use kicks in.

They like barely have to change any of the material to make it their own film. Atleast there may be a new nerd space movie once they get over it that they hate fans and they make a new thing.

Some of them even have actors from the show reprising their rolls, so I guess they thought they were fine as long as they don't try to profit from it.

they should just embrace it like game companies embrace mods to be quite honest It's not like they're going to make a ton of money or some poo poo on it and it's just free advertising for Star Trek. All this ultimately does is create ill-will amongst the more 'hardcore' fanbase because no one else gives a poo poo and there's no money here. IP laws are archaic.
