How come BSD trek and the rest of the implementations (several even under PD) never got an issue?
EGA Trek for DOS got a sternly-worded letter. Later versions had “USS Lexington” fighting the “Mongols”, rather than the Enterprise and Klingons.
Wasn't the Klingons some reminiscence of Mongols in the original encounter? They had like cliché Mongol beards, and were classic Star Trek "human"-aliens with like 12 toes or something they never showed anyways.

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

#25The ol' hug of death. Or perhaps a C&D? edit It loaded. Definitely hug of death
I'm not sure its truly getting hugged to death.. these video assets are pretty large. They are 1440p and 282MB for 5 mins, e.g:

#26Would be great to have the option to download this in full before the C&D hits.

#27Off-topic from the site, but, Borg related:
If you're looking for a good story that provides a much better finale of Borg than Star Trek TNG/VOY/Picard ever provided, I highly recommend reading the Star Trek Destiny trilogy[1]
Books to read:
Gods of Night
Mere Mortals
Lost Souls

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 move…
> 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

#30I like that people are using new tools to not only preserve but improve things from the past.
One note, though, is that it'd be really nice if people stopped trying to save bandwidth by chopping audio bitrates so much. I don't even have the speakers turned up and it's obvious. It's a bit silly to care about HD quality video yet kill the audio with 128 kbps mp3 quality audio.
