KS is an investment. You hand over money to someone, trusting they will deliver.

How I read KS ToS: if you do a funding event and meet your goal you must at least try to make it happen. And if it fails (for what ever reason) it just doesn’t happen. No one needs to sell of their IP.

And no: buying an IP does not come with an obligation to fulfil anything outstanding unless that is part of the deal when someone sells the IP. (When a company is sold, that’s a different beast with outstanding debts etc.)

If you can prove that the maker of the KS has fraudulently taken your money and just ran with it (example: never really planned to do the project) you can sue them but you still don’t get any money back from KS.

When a KS reaches it’s goal, the money goes to the creator and backers will have to sit and wait and hope for the best.

It’s an investment. Not a pre-order.

That all being said: depending on local rights and laws you still might be able to crack down on someone. But I highly doubt that that will bear any fruit.
