In the friend scenario, you gave your friend a hundred bucks so he could try to build his dream widget. Would you really demand that your friend be declared bankrupt over a 100 dollar debt?

(I'm not sure I agree that Kickstarter backers are that kind of "friends" to companies who took their money, but that seems to be the argument...)
