Okay.
In what POSSIBLE circumstance is Axanar in some way, shape, or form, siphoning off $150,000 worth of damages to Paramount?
Shouldn't it be up to the prosecuting party (Paramount) to prove in what way their material is being used to cost them money on their brand?
I don't know the circumstances of when you had to make such a call, nor is it really any of my business to judge whether or not you were doing the right thing. All I can judge is the application of this particular law in this particular case, and the answer always comes up the same for me. Paramount, through this little brouhaha, isn't being harmed with this Axanar movie... all they're doing is being a bunch of dicks.
