I've decided on my own to NOT go see the new film, Star Trek Beyond in the theater. To NOT give CBS/Paramount my money. And I'm urging others to do the same.
It's not about the content of the new film or the franchise reboot (although that's a sore point for many in itself). It's really just about CBS/Paramount asserting their power to defend their IP in a way that ultimately hurts the fans. They've thrown the baby out with the bathwater, and effectively killed off nearly all of the amazing fan productions that were in progress...particularly the ones that ran as a series.
I can't accept this, and I can't accept that there was no other way to resolve the issue. I can't support CBS/Paramount and their ongoing Star Trek productions unless and until they find a better solution.
