The ramifications of whatever guidelines CBS or Paramount eventually impose of fan films will extend far beyond Star Trek. In the continuing absence of any case law regarding whether fan works fall under the fair use provisions of copyright law, these guidelines may be the only template any other copyright holder may use to justify how they deal with fan works. | The ramifications of whatever guidelines CBS or Paramount eventually impose of fan films will extend far beyond Star Trek.

"CBS is well aware that other forms of participatory fandom exist, such as fan fiction and fan art, all of which have been tolerated along with fan films until now," she said.

> Other fandoms have occasionally tangled with their IP owners in the past — Lucasfilm targeted fanzines in the 80s, and within the last decade Warner Brothers tried to shut down a Harry Potter fan site run by a 15-year-old girl. In both these cases and others, IP owners have eventually backed down for various reasons. In some cases, they decided that legal costs outweighed the “damage” they perceived from the fan works. In others, IP owners were aware that taking action against a fan would appear disproportionately heavy-handed in a climate where fan productions are generally tolerated. In any case, CBS’s guidelines also set a precedent for other IP owners, as they will now have a template for dealing with their own fandoms. | > Other fandoms have occasionally tangled with their IP owners in the past — Lucasfilm targeted fanzines in the 80s, and within the last decade Warner Brothers tried to shut down a Harry Potter fan site run by a 15-year-old girl.
