No you haven't. If the project doesn't reach its funding level, and the project is scrapped, you'll get your mobey back, obviously.
If this had been for Sony's R&D department themselves I would understand that people are against it, but this is for their employees, if they have an idea that the big boss isn't too sure in, they can test out if there's interest for it there. In addition it'd be a lot more safe to back a project like this versus a Kickstarter where there is often very little accountability to it.
