I don't think Kickstarter is aware of any of that. They have received some DMCA complaint for a project, and so they have made it private and sent out an automated email to all backers that the project isn't gone.
I don't think their semi-automated DMCA system cares much for the drama that happened before here, even when the mail is somewhat unfortunate in these circumstances. I guess this can be confusing for people that are as computer-illiterate as to not have access to their Kickstarter campaign.
- aikah 12y agowho sent the DMCA takedown? If it's B ,that's pretty clever.Not only he defrauded the backers but he also removed all trace of the scam from the internet.
- DanBC 12y agoA asked B to make a game using A's IP. B ran a kickstarter to get money to create the game. B has gone silent and no game has been produced. A is trying to make things right and wants to communicate to the backers to fulfil the orders - albeit with a cheaper version of the game. KS are saying they will not allow A to communicate sith all the backers and that KS cannot transfer the project from B to A. A is worried about their name continuing to be used to collect money (B's website is still taking orders for the non existant game) and with a non functioning KS campaign, so A sent a DMCA notice to KS. (My As and Bs might be differet to those used by other people in this thread.)
- thaumasiotes 12y agoIt is kind of embarrassing for kickstarter after they've earnestly assured you that they have no way to send a message to every backer of a project.
