Also, remember, this isn't the first time Paramount has faced fan-backlash like this, and it seems like they don't learn.
Back closer to the turn of the century, anyone remember when Paramount went after fan-sites for copyright violation? In a similar fashion, Lucasfilm saw that backlash as well and sought to extend the olive branch the fans rather than bring down the hammer. Doesn't mean Paramount was wrong... they have every right to legally enforce their copyrights, and should in the case of Axanar. If I am remembering correctly, at the time back in day, Lucasfilm gave fans the means to content that would fit under their copyright umbrella.
