Viacom want to assimilate the internet!



Star Trek, some people love it, some people hate it, almost everyone has heard of it. In my opinion the only reason people sometimes have a negative or scoffing reaction when the show is mentioned is that it is popular. It's easy to pick on it.

My favourite Star Trek series is The Original Series (TOS) which ran from September 8th 1966-1969. Star Trek is special in that it portrays how humans can change and become more peaceful and learn to overcome their problems rationally.

Main Characters from each series-

Aswell as those listed here there are many other recurring characters and minor characters which are not listed. These are the main characters who appear in every (or most) episodes. Also the rank of each person may differ depending on when you take the information from.Beside each name is the actor/actress who plays them.

The Original Series -

The Next Generation

Deep Space Nine

Voyager

Good Star Trek Links

Viacom ('mother' of Paramount) have begun shutting down Startrek WWW sites because of supposed Copyright infringements. This would leave the Microsoft 'official' site the only place where Startrek material would be available on the Internet, creating a monopoly. To get access to the Microsoft site you have to

  1. Be running Microsoft Windows 95
  2. Be using Microsoft Internet Explorer
  3. Be a member of MSN (Microsoft Network)
  4. Pay a US$6.95 fee per month

I see this as an attempt to control and exploit for their own benefit something they DO NOT UNDERSTAND. There are better ways to handle a copyright situation than to be forcing people to simply shut down a site. Most Startrek web sites are NON-PROFIT, fan run and supported areas. They are places to share and expand your love of Startrek and to get in contact wiht other people who feel the same way. We are not trying to undermine Paramount or Viacom in any way. With proper acknowledgement of the copyright on names/designs etc. why should a site be forced by brute strength to shut down???
