The concept of all of this is BRILLIANT and exciting. It's just the players involved that put a really bad taste in my mouth. I don't trust
any of them.

Care to take a stab at how we all got in this mess in the first place? I'd call that an insanely ballsy move. These guys have built their entire empire based on theft and a lot of balls.
At this stage it's a little like trying to trust your uncle you molested you as a kid. And no matter how much you think he's reformed, you would never allow him to babysit your own child even with supervision.

This also brings up the trust factor for FSC. Besides COPPA, they really don't have a track record of succeeding at anything they do. Not to mention, there is nothing stopping them from changing how this all operates as their organization dies due to a natural decline in supporters due to more and more companies going out of business and the DVD giants closing shop, who are almost all supporting them currently.
Their current price rate will change once they get a lot of people on board. You can bet your ass on that. And then "free" is going to end up costing you a whole lot of money if you want to continue their service. It's a typical protection racket scheme.
