Well, I haven't gained a cent, speaking for my own Trek web page. I don't remember if I
mentioned it, but I *did* ask Paramount for permission to use some pictures from them when
I first started my site. They sent me a message that Creation is who would handle that.
So, I contacted Creation and they sent me to another Sci-Fi company (I forget the name).
That company sent me to local networks, who said they couldn't help me! I'm not saying
this means I should be able to use the pictures, but if Paramount has a problem with it,
you'd think they would have told me in the beginning!
