Dave kept referring to "sales" at the beginning of the video. Am I the only one thinking that's not the correct term?
According to Kickstarter, those are backers, not buyers and those are contributions not sales... the theory goes.

The distinction might seem pedantic but... sales have a huge legal corpus attached to them by default (and sometimes some extra contractual clauses added). Some... "organs" of that legal corpus differ from country to country... of course. Contributions... are different (as the backers of some failed projects found out). What you get (or not) in return... are "rewards".
Even technically, those would be pre-sales and besides... what would the object of a (pre)sale of the lowest tiers ($1-5 and similar) be ?
Like I said... these distinctions might seem pedantic but I think they are central to how and why KS (and forks) work.
Aside from that... thank a lot for the video. Quite informative.
