A class action lawsuit over $200,000?

This is why crowdfunding is a bad idea. Even if you are a scam artist (which I am not saying potential defendant is).

A class action lawsuit is a great idea. It is clear from the comments here and on Kickstarter that this situation has been worsened by conflicting expectations. A lawsuit will help clarify what the public can expect from crowdsourcing, and for project founders it will help clarify their responsibilities.

I would suggest that a lawsuit will help clarify what the lawyers and judges expect from crowdsourcing while completely ignoring what is best for crowdsourcing.

I agree that $200,000 doesn't sound like a lot for a class action. The lawyer(s) would expect a lot of that.
