:indygrin: haha great stuff but where the hell did they get the rights to do that? Longest trailer ever that must have been 1/5 of the movie. Too bad its not in English but no biggy.
In many cases, copyright laws make room for parodies. That said, the SW crew plans to move to completely self-designed ships in the future.
I also find it difficult to believe that Paramount/etc aren't aware of Star Wreck. The fact that they haven't been shut down probably implies tacit consent.
As far as I know, the only 'legit' way (as far as fanfilms are legit...) to get DVD's of fanfilms is if you mail the creator a blank DVD. No money is allowed to change hands. None.

Its not Paramount they should be worried about, its Viacom. Viacom went on a rampage shutting down any Star Trek fansite for no good reason at all years ago.
Some people here are too pessimistic, beginning to talk abut legal issues. I am 100% sure that they know what they are doing, the movie has ater all been in production for some time, and before there were Star Wreck 1,2,3,4 and 5..

But that is still a good question if they plan on selling the DVDs overseas.
Are the actually ships trademarked?

(oh, and is there any difference between B5: IFH and Star Wreck when it comes to the use of B5 models and similar legal wise?)

Oh, and about my link above. MGM went after them because they were selling DVD's.
