One thing of note - no warranty. The people getting first machines didn't buy the machine, but invested in the project so it will be interesting how this one plays out legally if there are major problems.
The same kind of thing stands up where people buy shares in a cow so they can drink unprocessed milk (read up about people selling "Bath Milk" in health food stores for drinking, which is illegal if they know people are drinking it). If it stands up there, I'd say it'd stand up for this scenario (in Australia anyway).
