Stark Trek fans definitely love this production and have not been content to be spectators but who have crossed boundaries and have decided to become creators of their own productions under the name Star Trek and brand.
There are hundreds of productions of fans that have been made over time, with and without profit, this fact has not been indifferent to their original creators, as some of these Fan Films have been so successful they have come you touch the borders of success of original productions, becoming branded as improved even more than the original ... This led Paramount to create and publish certain guidelines for Fan Films, which has caused a stir among fans.
And that guidelines are addressed?
Here I leave part of the statement of Paramount...
Here I leave part of the statement of Paramount...
"CBS and Paramount Pictures are big believers in reasonable fan fiction and fan creativity, and, in particular, want amateur fan filmmakers to showcase their passion for Star Trek. Therefore, CBS and Paramount Pictures will not object to, or take legal action against, Star Trek fan productions that are non-professional and amateur and meet the following guidelines."
Some of guidelines:
Guidelines for Avoiding Objections:
- The fan production must be less than 15 minutes for a single self-contained story, or no more than 2 segments, episodes or parts, not to exceed 30 minutes total, with no additional seasons, episodes, parts, sequels or remakes. (and what will happen to the movies?)
- The fan production must be non-commercial (What they say is because of the success of some of them?)
- Creators of fan productions must not seek to register their works, nor any elements of the works, under copyright or trademark law.
- The fan production must be a real “fan” production, i.e., creators, actors and all other participants must be amateurs, cannot be compensated for their services, and cannot be currently or previously employed on any Star Trek series, films, production of DVDs or with any of CBS or Paramount Pictures’ licensees. (Do they say for Axanar?)

In the entire document we find a set of guidelines to follow for Fan Films, which have been heavily criticized because they are considered prohibitive and irrelevant.
I will show you some of the comments from fans furious after reading these guidelines ...
-"Your fan film guidelines are laughable. After decades of supporting official Trek, I'm now done. I'll support projects like Axanar and other fan films that stick more to the spirit of Trek than anything you've produced recently. I will not pay to see Beyond in theaters, nor will I pay to watch your new pay-to-view series on your streaming service. You've lost a life-long Trek fan.-

As this comment there are hundreds on the official website of Star Trek, plus websites where it is discussed the same subject by their fans, but the question is...
Does this affect the industry Stark Trek?
If you do not know, talk a little about Axanar a Fan Film produced in 2014 type short; funded through a Kickstarter campaign type, production reached $ 10,000 in funding, but directed $ 101,000 and was seen by the public on July 26, 2014, at the San Diego Comic-Con. This set in the Star Trek universe and features in a documentary way events surrounding the Battle of Axanar, a major confrontation between the Federation and the Klingons. ( "Star Trek Fans Release 'Prelude To Axanar' And Plans To Further Trek.") The purpose of the film was to prove That high quality 'Star Trek' films can be made on a low budget. (Sciencefiction.com/2014/08/18/fans-make-star-trek-prequel-prelude-to-axanar). The amazing thing is that this short was funded travez donations and producers aim to make a feature film from that which has been supported by 8,548 sponsors who contributed $ 638,471 to help give life to this project.
In addition, we can see the totally free film on Youtube:
This film has had excellent reception among fans of Star Trek, and this has been the starting point for many debates as well as the guidelines of the owners of the franchise, which prancticamente try to avoid profit and promotion of a film based on Star Trek; I think they should reconsider these guidelines and even allow an association with whom dirijen these films and are full of ideas that can oxygenate and industry revive Star Trek.

As I had mentioned earlier, the guidelines of Star Trek, may have more negative than positive effects, in addition to trying to inhibit the production of films that could jeopardize their industry, discourage anyone trying to make a fan film, even though the fans are those who have sustained and prolonged the life of this industry. This can cause (as it has already done) a departure from the original industry and give a reason more to finance short as Axanar, who want to see different things in Star Trek.
