And that is EXACTLY why I like Axanar.
It threatens and hopefully WILL be successful in BURNING DOWN an Oligopoly that should not be allowed to exist.
We need that for the Petroleum industry and all other Oligopolies that are illegally allowed to exist due to political BRIBES (lobbying).

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL
, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !

Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, and HAVOC !

The studios force creators of intellectual property to sell their rights to the studio at a minute fraction of its expected value and movies/TV shows are then produced at inflated prices.

Axanar represents a new business model, where creators make their case directly to the public and the people fund what they want to see produced. Digital technology enablers high quality productions on limited budgets. The big studios lose their oligopoly and the people get to see what they want, not what a small group of stuffed suits decide they can see. I see Axanar is to the studio system what Uber is to conventional Taxis, a new business model that threatens the very existence of the establishment.


I think you're exactly right...

It removes their ability to determine "who the winners are" and "who the losers are" by whom they choose to make and what they choose to make.

The new business model allows anybody with an idea to put it out there and get the support they need to make it happen, if they can drum up enough support and their idea is appealing enough to enough people.

Later! OL J R
