I am not entirely sure if this whole collaboration is represented thoroughly, or perhaps I am just not fully understanding it. I would like for anyone involved to just correct me, and others, on any of the following statements, please:

Content producers are being asked to pay a fee to protect 10 of their videos from being displayed by the same tubes currently displaying them in an unauthorized fashion, and in full length.
With only 10 videos protected, participating tubes still have the ability to display the rest of a producer's entire library without authorization, unless DMCA'ed, at which point they have to remove that specific link to that specific video.
You must be a member of the FSC for the privilege of paying $450 to have 10 of your videos protected against the people displaying them. Anything else in your library is still fair game unless DMCA'ed.
Anyone can start a tube, create fake users (or hire remote users), visit the torrent and forums that are very rampant with piracy to grab content, then upload the content to your own tube, put a DMCA provision in place to protect yourself, and then join in the protection scheme to be paid to protect content owners, and without any upfront costs to implement the protection software.
The foundation of this system is one of bait and switch, whereby a full length video is detected and switched for a shorter one that is authorized.
The FSC has effectively given up on doing anything to close DMCA loopholes through legal channels and are instead using a technology to address an issue for which they themselves have little to no experience with, and using this technology as a way to bolster membership.

I'm not trying to be difficult here, but this thread has certainly caused me to have questions. If I am mistaken on any of the above, by all means I'd appreciate the clarification.
