Interesting. A few years back I led a project at a Startup Weekend that was about crowd-sourced legal defense. (LVLR) http://sandiego.startupweekend.org/2011/03/08/9-new-startups-launch-at-sw-sd/ http://sandiego.startupweekend.org/2011/03/08/9-new-startups... Of course it wasn't a product that was more than a prototype, but I am fully onboard with crowd funding playing a much larger role in the world than it currently does - whether it's down to a) investing, b) getting some sort of other reward/product or c) more directed alternative to typical charity. What's discussed in the article was one of the ideas my product guy and I bandied about, but it didn't seem plausible at the time... although, when the JOBS act was passed I did feel that maybe it was possible if you could somehow incorporate your lawsuit? Right now I'm the lead engineer for a crowd-funded charity site and sometime in the not-too-distant future I'd like to return to this.
