Star Trek (Fan made productions) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We the Media example:

Star Trek (Fan made productions) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "This article deals with fan-made productions using elements of the Star Trek franchise. Paramount Pictures and its licensees are the only organizations legally allowed to create any commercial products with the name and trademark Star Trek. Consequently, these fan productions are unauthorized and subject to legal issues. Even so, this massive body of work exists and continues to grow. Fans have produced works in the performing arts (fan films, the stage, audio drama or filk), literature (fan fiction and screenplays), the visual arts (2D & 3D) and the recreational arts (games, models & crafts)."

Featured on ABC News Story linked from Yahoo! And why they make it so hard for me to link directly to that content here, I think I know. Here's my best shot:

sorry if this crashes your computer (just kidding: it'll probably just be a broken link. no, actually, i tried it just now and it worked. it pops up another whole window and plays the correct abc stream in fine top-down old media fashion. with forced viewing trailers (ok, gotta pay bills; whatever)). i call your attention to this content solely for academic and scientific reasons. vgamkianibbtsfrgdl.
