Protest against Continuum
  Red Alert






Red Alert

Protest against Viacom
by Rob Chen from
Holodeck 3
at E.B.Gutzeit,
in Deutsch.

Somewhere in space...
B.Gates - Borg Bill Gates King of Borg:
I am Bill Gates, King of Borg. Resistance is futile. Your life, as it has been, is over. From this time forward you Trekkers are assimilated and will service me.
Unknown Trekker: =:o =:o =:o
But I do not want to be assimilated in your Microsoft-Collective :-( .
Bill Gates King of Borg:
Brave words. I have heard them before, from thousands of species across thousands of worlds. And now, they are all Microsoft-Users. You are an imperfect being, finding your weakness is only a matter of time.
Capt. Jean-Luc Picard:
"They invade our space, and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds, and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! (...)
One other thing. You may encounter Enterprise crewmen or Trekkers who have already been assimilated and linked Continuum. Do not hesitate to fire or not to link their pages. Believe me, you will be doing them a favour." - STVIII First Contact.

Protest against Viacom by Rob Chen from Holodeck 3

Some voices about this protest (New York Times, Financial Post and so on)

I support copyrights of Paramount/Viacom and have nothing against their steps against Star Trek pages whose webmasters earn money with Star Trek without permission of copyright holders. I wish people who make Star Trek a lot of money :-) ! It has never been the point !
     The point is however that Star Trek is not only a series, a movie as many other. It is and it has always been the great international discussion about the development of mankind, about the place of the human race in space, about being human. Star Trek has been produced from its very beginning with feedback from Trekkers who are, therefore, the authors, too. Paramount and Viacom have said it themselves at many occasions. And now hundreds of thousands of Trekkers all over the world are not able to take part in this discussion in a proper way because of technical and other reasons. In a way they could do it before Paramount and Viacom have locked them out by publishing the official Star Trek Homepage - Continuum on Bill Gates´s Microsoft Network (Internet service provider).
     It means for me freedom of speech, freedom of expression of these worldwide hundreds of thousands of fellow Trekkers have been hurt in a way I cannot accept! Therefore I am proud not to visit Continuum myself ! I will never do it as long as my fellow Trekkers cannot do it, too !

    "With the first link the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied chain us all irrevocably". Cpt. Jean Luc Picard, ST TNG, no.95, "Drumhead"

But I have nothing against Bill Gates/Paramount/Viacom/ visiting their own Continuum Page they love so much, more then us, the fans of Star Trek. They cannot show there anything that we are not able to see in movies or in fan shops (or what our spies cannot see :-) ! ). I have only to master my curiosity (which, I admit, is not easy for people who used to go boldly where no one has gone before... :-) ). If it was however possible to hack the CIA - homepage so it would be (for Paramount/Viacom) possible to put things which could be interesting for us somewhere in space, too ... We have only to wait. The spacetime is working for us :-) ! Nobody can possess copyrights to our love of Star Trek or to our freedom of speech ! Bill Gates is buying old pictures, books and so on. How much did he pay for us, for Trekkers, for our love of Star Trek ideals?

Quotation from News in the second german public tv station ZDF on 11.01.1997:
    "The British scientists have discovered that 10% of Star Trek fans reveal addiction symptoms along with deprivation manifestations as stress and anxiety attacks indeed".


     No wonder that even the experienced hackers, who have seen in cold blood the slow excruciating death of not a few homepages and who have lost their friends, families, and some of them even their computers in Internet wars, have now tears in their eyes when speaking about how Bill Gates is using the Continuum Page to earn a handful of dollars more with the emotional ties of Trekkers to their beloved world of Star Trek... :-(     "Star Trek has become the most popular sci-fi serie (...). No doubt, it is so because of its unique philosophy. Today of course, it is only used as selling point. Roddenberry (...) would not be delighted with the greed of profit with which one approaches from top the single projects". Editorial of "Star Trek Der Erste Kontakt - Das offizielle Magazin zum Film", 1996, Punchline Publishings, Inc., page 5

My advice for:

1. Fellow Trekkers - fire only quantum torpedoes (laser, photon torpedoes and phasers are useless in this case) and remember: in space no one hears you crying! Therefore, each shot must count! Paramount/Viacom/Bill Gates think already only how to surrender without losing their faces and play poker about the honorable conditions of their surrender. I am sure they have let program the white flag as animated *.gif that they are going to place on their homepage soon. Do not give our right and noble protest up!
2. Paramount/Viacom/Bill Gates - do not surrender! At least till all the people on the Earth who still don´t know they are Trekkers, too, learn about Trekkers´ protest from the reports in the press, tv, radio and so on and buy tickets for the next 10 Star Trek movies in advance ! And do not forget: screentime fairly for all crew members, for Lt. Worf, Geordi, and Dr. Beverly C. Howard Crusher, too ! The hero of Star Trek is the crew, not the individual actress/actor !
3. The rest of the world - we call the Free World, we call the Free World ! Support our struggle ! Remember "For Whom the Bell Tolls" ! The people of Bill Gates will take Trekkers who take part in this protest action first one day, early in the morning..., when the hour X has come... The names are being registered already...
     Although... perhaps... on the other hand... what for Internet if we can have Microsoft Network? The politicians will have no problems with these awful sex pages at last - according to press, radio and tv 99% of Internet ... and Bill Gates will allow us for sure to say and think what we wish... :-)
4. The rest of The Milky Way - try not to die with laughter, friends :-) !
5. Other galaxies - stay away from our galaxy ! Each interference in the course of the protest action (as sending armed away teams, troops, spaceships, probes and similar) will be considered as interference in our internal affairs and punished according to the interstellar law but at least as hard as for watching Star Trek movie without paying the ticket !
