Kickstarter Co-founders: ?We Take Accountability Very Seriously?

Yesterday, NPR's All Things Considered produced a piece on accountability in crowdfunding. That is to say, if a business fails to produce or follow-through with its goals, how do financial backers get their money back? The piece focuses its attention on Kickstarter, saying, "while the company's policy says creators have to give refunds on failed projects, the website doesn't have a mechanism to do it." Today, Kickstarter's co-founders Perry Chen, Yancey Strickler, and Charles Adler responded in a blog post on the site, saying, "we take accountability very seriously at Kickstarter." The post addresses NPR's questions in a Q&A (which has been added to the site's FAQ page as well), essentially re-stating Kickstarter's approach to accountability, reviews and their legal involvement.
