Creators of $1 million Star Trek fan film sued by CBS and Paramount:   
      
   "While Star Trek: Beyond is grabbing headlines ahead of its premiere next   
   summer, it's not the only Star Trek movie currently in the works. Axanar, a   
   fan-made film set in the same universe as the sci-fi series, has earned more   
   than a million dollars through crowdfunding platforms this year and drawn   
   support from previous Star Trek actors and current Star Trek fans alike. But   
   while Axanar's creators argue that they can use CBS' sci-fi setting because   
   their movie will be "totally non-commercial," Paramount Pictures and CBS, who   
   own the rights to Star Trek, apparently disagree -- the two companies have sued   
   Axanar's creators for copyright infringement."

   So, I guess this is where the $#^& hits the fan.   
      
   I wonder how it will all pan out?
