It doesn't matter that you haven't seen some other figure on rally.org (just one of the sources). It doesn't change the fact that Levison will almost certainly need the orders of magnitude more legal funds than what he received up to now.

Even having a case with the copyright trolls costs around a million. You bother about the thousands and about the totals which nobody claimed. And Levison had to shut down his own company.

Absolutely agree. All I'm trying to say is that I find the lack of transparency about the real 'goal' for rally.org and real total (which now we have transparency about) doesn't make me feel great about donating.
So where is it written that rally.org is supposed to publish the totals of funds collected via other channels? Based on what actually have you expected that?
It isn't. I think based on the giant bar saying X out of Y pledged that it represented the largest chuck of what had been pledged.
some people can always find an excuse not to help.
Yea, this response is expected. You can see below I'm grappling with myself, am I just nitpicking as an excuse or do I have actual concerns. It can be hard to tell sometimes.
