CBS Shuts Down Stage 9, a Fan-Made Recreation of the USS Enterprise
The Constitution guarantees the right to free expression.  CBS's strategy is based on threats, not law. A common misconception: Stage 9 looks the same as the USS Enterprise and that matters; nope. Legally, if Stage 9 is an original work, there isn't much CBS can do to stop it other than to try to look scary w/endless litigation.  With the ACLU's help Stage 9 should easily prevail.
