You appear to have a healthy level of distain for "Trekkies" who become obsessed with the series. Where does this stem from, and what would you recommend that these people do instead.
I think the proper question ought to be: "What would you recomment to do to these people instead".
... Will it be a cheap "Hanna-Barbera/Toei"-style flat animation, a good-quality "Looney-Tunes"-quality with Carl-Stalling-quality music flat animation, or will it use extensive CG (à la "Reboot") (and in that case, no one cares about the music)???

That is the belief that businesses have a right to a "fair" profit for work that they do.
So, by your reasoning, they don't have a right to a "fair" profit for work that they don't do. Like the information published by the government. So, why does the governments gives them a monopoly for what they don't do?
I have always been amazed by how almost every country pays MS tax even if they have both the skills and the industry to make their own software.
That's because short-term oriented bourgeois run the show. The bourgeois aren't interested in anything that is not immediate. The bourgeois universe is strictly short-term. So, for them it's better to buy an unsuitable read-made "solution" than plan ahead for the future and take more time to develop a better-suited one.
Wruble suddenly noticed a slight change in the character of the ocean floor, and then saw what looked like the edge of the world crawl beneath the little window. The front wheel ran off a precipice and Wruble heard a loud whummpp as the boat lurched and his head smacked some overhead pipes that sliced a cut in his scalp. The sound he heard was the bottom of the NR-1 scraping along a canyon rim. Blood ran down his face as he yelled into his microphone, "Go back! Go back! We're going over the edge!"
Sounds like a clip from "Voyage to see the bottom"...
It must take a very special sort of soldier to submit to the claustrophobic surroundings and lack of freedom inherent in being in a submarine. I can only wonder what that's like when you're in a submarine that nobody knows about.
Aw! Comeon. I've been dreaming of going on a sub for ages; when I did visit an operational (diesel) one, I didn't stop dreaming about that even when I saw the cramped conditions inside.
The funny thing is that by looking at the configuration and the control/gauges, I managed to guess the operationnal characteristics of the sub, and it was obvious by the crew's faces when I asked them to confirm my suspicions ("sorry, that's classified"), I managed to guess correctly...

To give a contemporary example with extremely offensive (and inaccurate) stereotypes, consider a hypothetical 1950s law prohibiting the eating of fried chicken and watermelon on the front porch.
Do you think the authors were really dealing with a problem of greasy chicken bones and slippery watermelon rinds on the nearby sidewalks?
Or do you think the law might be a not-so-subtle way of keeping certain people out of sight?
This was done as recently as 1985 in the town I used to live then. Orthodox jews were offended at people sunbathing in a city park. They went whining to the mayor (the same guy who, when he was minister of justice 15 years before, declared martial law and suspended civil liberties, then had the army jail some 400 political opponents), arguing that the sunbathing people made the value of their houses drop.
The city promptly outlawed the wearing of bathing suits, under penalty of three months in jail.
Luckily, the law was overturned several months later, well past the bathing suit season, except for Santa Claus, who showed up on the cover of the local newspaper in a red and white bathing suit, right in the middle of the famous park that triggered the whole thing...

When I was a kid (that is from 6 years on), I was allowed to read all the pr0n magazines my father bought, right in front of my mother (all she'd say was "that's not nice looking"). So, over time, pr0n didn't have any special attractiveness for me, and I never went out of my way in order to find pr0n - that is, until I got interested in really kinky stuff (besides which goatsee.cx is really tame)...

Thanks, I didn't know that book.
Will we finally be able to see Jackie Kennedy's pix while she was sunbathing on Onassis's yachts???

If people were forced to pay for billboards, whether they want to look at them or not, they'd be outlawed in less than 34 nanoseconds flat.
