This would kill Kickstarter.

  Either kickstarter is investment or it's a preorders store, it needs to pick one, it cannot be both. If someone is really behind the concept for a product, they can just buy the product after it's available in an online store. I could easily see this becoming a legal requirement if it gets visible to legislature.

    > Either kickstarter is investment or it's a pre-sale store, it needs to pick one, it cannot be both. The way Kickstarter presents itself, it's neither - it's not an investment; it's a way for creators and consumers to collaborate on a project. That's subtly different from an investment per se, (Whether you agree with that is a different question, but it's important to note how Kickstarter intends to portray itself).
