Picard was a statist ass. Riker should have mutinied in the second episode.
Later series "leaders" were even worse.
In the immortal words of Billy Ray Valentine, "the best way you hurt rich people is by turning them into poor people."
I agree that fans should organize a boycott and follow the example of Winthorp and Valentine.
They might even join forces with someone from the industry to create new media content as an alternative.

This is an old problem. Paramount changed the Star Trek Universe, granted that. Before this new series (2009) Paramount would not allow profic (professional fiction) that derived from fanfic (fan-created fiction) in which new romances exists. In the current product, Spock and Uhuru violate that stricture.
But so what?
You need to look at SHERLOCK HOLMES which is still controlled by the owners of the copyright. On the other hand, no one owns Shakespeare.
Property rights are important... to property... but what is and is not property is a metaphysical discussion that has never been resolved rationally. We need it. We do not have it. (yet).
The fan production must be a real “fan” production, i.e., creators, actors and all other participants must be amateurs, cannot be compensated for their services, and cannot be currently or previously employed on any Star Trek series, films, production of DVDs or with any of CBS or Paramount Pictures’ licensees.

Renegades will either have to dump all their actors who have SG licenses, or go rogue, to meet this one. This is particularly targeted at Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, JG Hertzler and Gary Graham. There are others as well,but most of Renegades cast were professional actors, who do not appear to meet the requirement for "amateurs".
