[QUOTE="billd91, post: 8745395, member: 3400"] Complex issue. All business regulations are, in some way, burdensome - they're supposed to be in the sense that they require the business to undertake efforts that they otherwise would ignore as too costly. We just accept them based on how important they are to us as customers or members of society. For example, most of us consider product safety regulations an important bulwark for safe food and drugs rather than being stuck buying milk laced with formaldehyde or seeing more soldiers killed by their tainted food than by enemy bullets. It's when the stakes are relatively small compared to the burden that I think the argument that regulations may not be the answer can be strong. And, in this case, the stakes are pretty small, all things considered. That doesn't mean Kickstarter couldn't take on the burden of some kind of greater scrutiny of campaigns on their platform, particularly when certain thresholds are reached, complaints reach a certain level, the fulfillment goes on and on and on... With enough high-profile failures or controversy, it might be in Kickstarter's best interest as a consumer protection move. But I think it would be really hard for a government to well-tailor a decent set of regulations for any possible configuration of crowdfunding platform. [/QUOTE]
