Oh. I am well aware of these discussions. Thanks. I actually posed in some of those dakkadakka threads.

If the owner of BTP treats his employers poorly, that is surely worthy of condemnation.

But it doesn’t really deal with the issue of whether or not BTP violates KS-guidelines or not. I think it would be prudent to keep those discussions separate

In other words, a project could be a bad project by a bad company not deserving any of your funding, but still qualify to be legitimate on Kickstarter.

Inversely, another project could be a very good project done by a very good company that treats its employers excellently, but could still run against the ToS/Guidelines of Kickstarter.

A basic and very, very important principle of the rule of law is that rules and regulations should apply to everyone equally, the morally commendable as well as the repulsive.
