"This guy tried to actively scam CBS and Paramount (among many others). He was simply looking to make bank, Star Trek was just something he was more prepared for."
So tell me something, Kenichi...if that is your belief, then you also believe that every other fan film needs to get "permission" from CBS to make a Star Trek fan film? Because none of them do have permission. Never have. You could make one yourself today and not need permission from CBS, as long as you follow the Fan Film Guidelines.
And hate to tell you, giving to a crowdfunded project doesn't make you an "investor." You are a donor. The risks are outlined in the Kickstarter and Indiegogo Rules. And yes, I'm a donor...and will not be involved in any silly "class action" thing that would likely be thrown right out of the clerk's office.

Re:
It was more CBS's doing than Paramount's. CBS owns the franchise.
