CBS can still potentially send a cease and desist letter. Star Trek Stage 9 got shutdown even though it was clearly labelled as a non commercial and generated no revenue.

There was speculation because the Star Trek: Bridge Crew DLC was coming out which CBS was afraid that Stage 9 would outclass it, but who knows what goes on in the minds of CBS lawyers.

Good thing about it is that the team that worked on Stage 9 moved onto a recreation of the Orville now.

They did a stellar job on this (which makes me double-plus pissed at CBS, knowing how good their Enterprise-D recreation could've been). Unfortunately, Seth MacFarlane seems to be doing less than stellar job at keeping the Orville going for now.

Season 3 ooses depression from every pore ...not sure it that make co.plete sense but yeah it was tough to watch

It felt like S3 forgot it was a comedy, and it tried too hard to be Real Trek. (Not to mention I kind of hate the crew now for what they did to Gordon in that time travel episode.)

Yeah, IMO S2 had the right balance of comedy-to-drama, being a little more light-hearted Real Trek. A lifeline in times where we had no proper Trek.

Lifting an entire game could in no way be considered fair use. That will never pass.

That is about the anti-circumvention clause of the DMCA, not fair use.

While true, Star Trek does have some history of tolerating fan productions to a certain extent. This probably wouldn't qualify but they tolerate more than average.

nothing about that will stop a cease and desist.

I didn't say it did, just pointing out the attempt to preempt
