From discussion elsewhere, I gather that Axanar was using the money from the Kickstarter in for-profit ways, such as building a studio for future non-Trek ventures and shilling coffee. Oh, and the guy in charge paid himself and his girlfriend non-trivial salaries out of the funding. Oh, and he claimed that their Trek was the true Star Trek and implied that Paramount's was phony. That's not an attack on Paramount's IP at all.
