Ugh. They're STILL trying to paint CBS/Paramount as the big bad evil dudes, rather than Alec Peters, who was lining his own pockets whilst shitting all over the copyrighted properties?
In the long run that project caused nothing but headaches and hassles for all the other fans out there doing similar videos just for the fun of it.
Suddenly they had to get paranoid about copyright and lawyers. When all they were doing was what we did as kids "Lets Pretend" - but they had video cameras.

It was inevitable really though. Sooner or later they would have done it anyhow. Possibly not as heavy handed. But they would have eventually used someone as an excuse. Such as the Star Wreck series had it not effectively ended,even though it is a parody.
