The headline is misleading. It's not really Kickstarters fault. If they get legal threats concerning one of the people using their site it's quite normal to take it down, at least until everything is settled.
It might be in their TOS, but they definitely aren't obligated to stop supporting these guys because of legal action. In fact, without a formal process in place they open themselves up to more risk by making judgement calls about whose funding to pull. I'd like to see these guys take Kickstarter to court, if only to get a better definition of KS' legal role and responsibilities
Isn't that a 'guilty until proven innocent' mentality? This way, any random person who can pen down some legalese can take down a project. They should only respond to court issued judgments.
