 +==== Dispute Over Ares Digital Name ====
 +
 +On Facebook, [[face>groups/CBSvsAxanar/permalink/1302209003123800/?comment_id=1302412453103455&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R7%22%7D|McIntosh claimed]] he owns the Ares Digital name for the system he designed for Axanar (not as a work for hire), and is considering legal action for its continued use by Axanar Productions: "Attorney is already prepping the lawsuit," McIntosh posted.
 +
 +He said he instructed his attorney, "Sic 'em." In reply, McIntosh added his attorney questioned the intelligence behind Axanar's continued use of the Ares Digital name.(([[[[face>groups/CBSvsAxanar/permalink/1302209003123800/?comment_id=1302412453103455&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R7%22%7D|Terry Mcintosh post to CBS/Paramount vs. Axanar Facebook page]], 9/9/16.))
 +
 +==== Unlicensed Software? ====
 +
 +McIntosh went on to allege Axanar was using an unlicensed template for the design of its new Ares Digital platform:
 +
 +> Just received an email from the creator of the retail HTML theme that I purchased and modified for Ares Digital's use and the author and his firm have confirmed that they (Axanar, [CTO] Bill [Watters], Alec, or anyone remotely close) did not purchase a license to use it... so there's ANOTHER copyright infringement at play. They say that they'll pursue their interests.(([[face>groups/CBSvsAxanar/permalink/1302209003123800/?comment_id=1302412453103455&reply_comment_id=1302874749723892&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22%7D|Terry McIntosh post to CBS/Paramount vs. Axanar Facebook page]], 9/10/16.))
