Joe Reiss has launched the Resistance is Not Futile campaign page. Here is the e-mail from him...

from: jreiss@vt.edu

Greetings friends,

I am sending this email to all of you because... well, 
because I think may of you will be interested in what I 
have to say.  As many of you are already aware, Paramount 
has recently begun a crack down on fan run Star Trek web 
sites.  They want all these sites to remove any Trek related 
imagery, video, audio, and script excerpts or else face legal
action.  This has angered many people in the Trek community 
and spurred many to action.

To help focus this action, I have just finished creating 
an icon and a web page that I hope might be able to serve 
as a sort of central clearing house for information about 
and support for the campaign to change Paramount's (alleged) 
minds.  I want to encourage all of you to visit the site.  
If you like what you see and you agree that action needs to 
be taken, then I'd encourage you to use the Locutus icon 
available on the page to place a link from your web page to 
the campaign page.  Hopefully, by making this icon visible 
on some of the most popular Trek sites, we can broaden 
awareness of the issue and encourage people to make their 
voices heard at the Paramount offices. 

The URL is "http://hci.ise.vt.edu/~jreiss/resist/".  I 
welcome any feedback you may have about the content of the 
page and any new information you may receive on the subject.  
Here's hoping the fans can make a difference in Trek history 
once again.

Joe Reiss
