Well, they now have published official fan film guidelines, and they have serious issues....

Basically #1 and #5 directly make all current fan based Trek productions non-compliant, including Star Trek Continues and Star Trek New Voyages. I have to think it was some "genius" in legal who devised this nonsense.

15-minute episodes? Can't bear the words "Star Trek" in the title? AND they want to limit the acting to amateurs with no acting ability?? Wtf?!?

I bet money that they are given a pass. Both STC and New Voyages already had special permissions. They dont need guidelines.

Oh I also expect they will get a special dispensation. Were I them I would want it in a legal document.

I think the guidelines lay out what people can do without explicit permissions from CBS or Paramount. I think that anyone wanting to do more than what the guidelines allow can still request special permissions. I don't know for sure.
