I agree with this. This is kind of where I was going with my mention of "legal action". If CrowdSupply is marketing themselves as a better alternative to the "donate to a project and maybe you'll get something" that Kickstarter and others seem to be known for, then I think we could hold them to that. If they're trying to position themselves as a professionally-run business-transaction version of crowd-funding, then as a backer, my business relationship is with CrowdSupply, and it seems reasonable that I should be able to expect them to provide/arrange remedies, and deal with the other parties (such as ThinkPenguin) as subcontractors who made promises to CrowdSupply. If this gets to the point of a Social Media publicity/shaming campaign, I would suggest that pointing the bad publicity at Crowd Supply is worth considering as an alternative/complement to directing bad publicity at ThinkPenguin. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook@lists.phcomp.co.uk http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to arm-netb...@files.phcomp.co.uk
