You've been having to protect your product, justify its cost, and compete with / stay ahead of free or open source alternatives.Then Kickstarter people come around, and it must feel like... maybe like they're having their cake and eating it too? They get a bunch of publicity and popularity for being free, and that in turn draws the attention of supportive, paying types. It appears to give you all the popularity and userbase that free products normally get, along with more than enough paying customers (if your idea is good).I certainly know what business model I'll be using if I ever create something, hehe...</blockquote>
