Under copyright you're correct - however the thing that gets people in trouble with Paramount is TRADEMARK infringement. The characters and just about everything associated with Trek has been Trademarked by Paramount as well as copyrighted. Under Trademark laws you can't use a trademarked item / person / image / etc. without specific permission. Even if you are giving it away not selling it.
We would still have to tread lightly.

I agree that this type of piece-mealing would be very advantageous, so
long as the collective vision and end product were understood to all
parties. It'd be cheap, and easy, given current technology. If everyone
did their part, the only difficult role would be editing the finished
piece. I think that's a good idea.

If my understanding on copyright law is correct, then this is true. If
(again, emphasizing the "if") I'm right about this, then it would also be
possible to sell dvd's or videos of the collection, so long as no profit
was made (unless my understanding of copyright law hasn't kept up with
the law itself..i don't watch the news much. lol)
