Paramount is currently in court, trying to stop the production of a fan-made crowdfunded Star Trek prequel film on the grounds it violates the studio’s ownership of the copyright. Launched in 2014, the film Prelude to Axanar covers the missions of the first Federation warship and takes place during the childhood of James T. Kirk but well away from him. Full Story

I've read the article and I still don't really get it.

What exactly (in simple terms as I'm clearly struggling today) is the case for the defence here?

Surely it's fairly easy to show that they're trying to make/market something using a trademark/copyright that they're not licensed to use?

Ultimately it's a fan-made tribute so with youtube and other media it is hard to draw a line.

Some interesting stuff out there.
