I would just like to point out that not one of those guys, while they may be DVD giants, know jack about online piracy. Nada. Nothing. Waste of a meeting for everyone.
You need to be picking the brains of guys like Corbin Fisher. That guy is kicking ass and taking names, along with their assets. He seems to be the Rambo of the industry but I don't see him on your list of experts. I've never seen someone's content so locked down as Robbie's is, he isn't on the list. Borked is a programmer with so many ideas on how to curb piracy and ways to stop it, he should get a Nobel Peach Prize, but he is not on your list of experts either.
Last I heard, none of them were asked to speak at the Piracy Retreat coming up either. What DVD giants and useless attorneys will be speaking there in place of real experts? Any idea? I do... If there is a God and she has a sense of humor, it would be Fabian from Manwin. The sad part is, I COULD SEE HIM SPEAKING and telling all the DVD companies why they need to pay for this service to stop him from stealing it. I bet he was asked by the FSC or Top Bucks, but he said he will not be speaking. Shame. That would be epic.
You need to be talking to people who are actually protecting their content and stopping piracy in real life. You need to be talking to programmers who are stopping pirates with their methods already or have ideas on how to do it.
You need real life industry experts, not DVD kings or FSC members who contribute large amounts of money to you. Hardly any of these guys even know how to make a website let alone know the true scope of online piracy, which is mostly OUTSIDE of the tubes.
This is why people, other than the DVD guys and very large and out of touch internet companies, do not have much faith in the FSC. When you have meetings of "experts" with guys who don't know anything about online piracy (or even how to make money online), you sort of disqualify yourself as an organization who is on top of things.
