Spotted on IMDb’s Studio Brief, and sure to get circulated around since it’s on the wire now:

Paramount May Seize Pirated Star Trek Stuff
“A federal court in Cleveland granted Viacom’s Paramount unit an order allowing it to seize bootleg “Star Trek” merchandise sold at sci-fi conventions in Atlanta, Cleveland, Dearborn MI, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Orlando, Pasadena CA, Tampa, and Tucson. The suit is aimed at bootleggers who sell everything from counterfeit action figures representing the characters in the “Star Trek” TV series and movies to T-shirts and caps. The court order allows process servers acting on Paramount’s behalf to seize merchandise without having to obtain a local order in each city where the items are being sold.”

What? Pirated items at a sci-fi convention in Atlanta? No, I never would have guessed! The shock! The horror! The complete, unadulterated lack of surprise, yeah, baby!
