How does Spike afford this? All of the James Bond movies must have cost a fortune, and I'm sure all six of the Star Wars movies aren't cheap either.

Alls I know is Spike provides me with 5 hours of Star trek Goodness every day, and has managed to reestablish my love for the franchise. GO SPIKE!

Well when Spike Lee sued them for using "his name" they won and took his money.*

All I recall about that is it delayed the change to the new name. Dunno about what happened monetarywise.

Heard about this a while ago, and they did pay a butt load for the rights.
