I don't think Objectivists would have a problem with Kickstarter. The quality of the previous movies, maybe, but not necessarily going onto Kickstarter.

This may be the first time I've seen Betteridge's Law of Headlines be false?

Get the facts. They are not asking for handouts.
  • They are offering you values for your contributions. It is a vanity sale.  For $35 you get a special t-shirt.  For $1000 you get your name listed in the movie at the end with the credits.  Believe me, wth 21 days to go, I am scraping for a grand here. 
Go to the Galt's Gulch discussion board and sign up as a Producer for $3.95 a month.  I did.  It's cheap, and culturally important. And you get a little dollar sign before your name in your posts.

I'm not agreeing with the article, but I thought it was interesting that the Kickstarter had such prominent coverage in this manner.

It is an interesting question, and Mike's right. I'm thinking even the pleasure of seeing the project completed for one's enjoyment might be enough of a return in many cases.

I took it down to the wire.  Still not working since finishing a project for Dell Computers this spring, I did not have the $1000 to get my name in lights, but I did buy the special t-shirt.

You can still sign on to the Galt's Gulch discussion board and for $3.95 a month against your credit or debit card for a year, you get to be a Producer with a little $ in front of your name when you post comments. BTW, you do not need to pay to read and post.  From the home page, you can select Hot, New, or any of the Categories from the dropdown.
