I'm a paying member and I have no problem with them also using a KickStarter for a special project. This is for several reasons. First, I'm not funding them, I'm paying for access to the videos. Second, I expect them to keep making web development vides, though if this stopped I wouldn't feel violated, since I'd still have access to the videos that are there. I would be disappointed and would re-evaluate whether I want to keep paying for them. Finally, this really is a special project, both in content and what's required to deliver it, and they talk about what they're using the money for in the video. I'm confident that videos unrelated to iOS will continue to be released as this is being worked on, just like they were while they developed the prototype.
The only downside I see is that a paying customer might have thought that $25/mo was getting them all CodeSchool had to offer, and now some people are paying $60 to fund the KickStarter and getting a shirt. To me that's because they misinterpreted what the $25/mo is for. It's really for something much simpler: unlimited access to all the Courses and Code TV.
