    Reddit was (and probably still is) in uproar about this, they've imposed such strict guidelines that its near impossible to make a fan film while following these restrictions. They are just too harsh.

    I've not been following the fan films debacle very closely, but good grief those restrictions are ridiculous. It's obvious no thought has been given to how this will actually affect fans or their productions, and the whole thing seems to be their way of saying "well, we're making Star Trek now, so no one else is allowed to" without being explicit about it. Clearly these were dreamed up by people with the singular goal of 'protecting their interests' and nothing more. Sad times.

    I really think the "No one who as worked on star trek" thing is bad. That saying if you worked on star trek and you are a true fan, you can't make/work on a fan film. Its limiting there fandom freedom.

    I met Renegades creator Sky Conway last year, who was working with Rod Roddenberry for the approval to make their film.
    With this development though, they are removing "Star Trek" altogether an just making it their own. Where they have Tim Russ (Tuvok) and Walter Koenig (ToS Chekov) in their productions.

    The controversy continues to unfold. On June 29th, CBS representative John Van Citters will be discussing the guidelines on an episode of Engage: The Official Star Trek Podcast.

    This may not be realistic, though the best solution for the fans if they want to take more control of Star Trek would be a campaign to buy the rights from CBS and Paramount through a new public company. That way the fans would have a share in that company, and a way to express themselves.

    I'm not sure what they are expecting people to be able to come up with in those time restrictions. I am wondering if they are willing to compromise on some of the points, perhaps they knew the fans wouldn't like the restrictions they would actually agree to so went with these even harsher ones so that if they compromised the fans would be happy even if they didn't get such a good deal because it seemed like a victory.

    I don't think many people would think of trying to negotiate the terms there, but even if they did, I don't think CBS would be giving any concession.
