looking over several of the replies here I can see most of you have never heard of KickStarter or understand how it works.
it has nothing to do with Amiga or any Amiga company, so lame jokes are wasted.
I have known several people who have tried to generate money to make their films using this method. The point is that NO ONE loses their money. That is one of the intensives to encourage people to donate.
There is also the fact that this system works around The complicated laws for "INVESTING". The gov in the US has a HUGH number of regulations regarding investing (in this films). The way KickStarter works you are just "buying" something - usually a DVD copy of the film, or dinner with the director, etc.
I think KickStarter is a perfectly acceptable method of generating $$$ for this project and people misunderstanding it is just childish and silly. Grow up. If you like the project, feel free to send a few bucks. that is all.
