I very much disagree with the idea that you don&#x27;t have any ethical stipulations if you receive money from a kickstarter campaign.<p>Although they label things as &quot;donations&quot; and &quot;rewards&quot;, it is a de-facto presale platform. If you&#x27;re going to put a project on there and tell people you&#x27;ll send them something for giving you money, you&#x27;re making a promise beyond the words that Kickstarter is using. And while I know that there&#x27;s a certain amount of risk with any project, you damn sure do have an ethical obligation to do everything in your power to make good on your promise to your early supporters.
