  1. I would much rather read your stories and give them the benefit of the doubt than anything that comes out of Tinseltown today. Trek should have been put in Public Domain in 2000.

  2. More proof why copyright protections are too long. It should have entered Public Domain in 2000.

  3. And they are trying to steal Shiva's title "Destroyer of Worlds".

  4.  @lynngreen7978  You clearly hold the legacy material in reverence. Kurtzman and company hold it in complete contempt. That is why fan works such as yours I am more gracious with; as a fan project it does not harm the IP. My vitriol with Paramount and Kurtzman is because they abuse the copyright as a bludgeon to force their trash on the IP as if holding the IP somehow makes theirs more legitimate. Axanar Project is Canon and Kurtzman Trek is corporate fanfiction. Change my mind.

  5.  @yurikendal4868  Copyright protection means that creators who COULD build and expand on the IP are prevented from doing so, even if they don't monetize it. The holders of the copyright monopolize it. While that makes perfect sense for INDIVIDUAL CREATORS, corporations have exploited and abused that monopoly for the financial benefit not of the original creator but their own plundering selves.

  6.  @Anothet4  Agreed. KK is his fault. He is directly responsible for allowing his baby to be gutted like a fish.

  7.  @erynlasgalen1949  Agreed. Good fanfiction is a labor of love. Corporate fanfiction is nihilistic destruction.
