Pretending that it's not happening is not going to protect anyone from anything. Well, charging for an unlicensed “Star Trek” film is what’s really rocking the boat.

The copyright owner is the pond and every fan production is in a diffrent boat on the pond. if someone talks about someones mistakes it cause waves in the "pond". If there are too many waves, the "pond" may capsize all the boats! We don't want to drown! We're all having too much fun playing Trek! The one thng you’ve got to watch out for is rocking the boat.

Farragut, New Voyages and the other real fan films are pretty scrupulous about this sort of thing. The good will and public attention they generate is being taken advantage of here.

LOL - they're not giving you anything, and there's no way that this deal would legally satisfy *anyone.* They're telling you that if you send them a certain amount of money, you get a DVD - it's as simple as that. “A free gift.” LOL – they’re not giving you anything, and there’s no way that this deal would legally satisfy *anyone.* They’re telling you that if you send them a certain amount of money, you get a DVD – it’s as simple as that.

ON THE OTHER HAND, today in email I got yet another ad from a *non-fan-film but unlicensed production* that uses "Star Trek" in its title, offering to sell me a DVD of its movie for $19.95. They send these emails out every month or two. I've got bunches of 'em. The fig leaf that they use is that along with the DVD I'm getting an autographed picture of the cast. So I'm paying for the picture. Yeah, right. How long do you suppose before Paramount drops a legal rock on these guys?
