I guess complaining is easier.

It's not that. It's that anyone with 1/2 a brain is skeptical of just about everything these days. All most the large companies do is fuck people over in one way or another, and the FSC's history isn't exactly beaming with success stories. It's very difficult to trust anyone these days, especially with your content, and especially for free.
I'm going to play out a scenario here, and I'm making it up as I go along so there will be holes in it.
I do not think this is going to happen, I'm just running with one possible thing that comes to mind.
Random scenario: Once everyone has their videos fingerprinted, 5 years down the road and someone more or less is in control of most of the adult internet. It could be Stuart Lawley, it could be Manwin, or someone we've yet to come across. Suppose they use those fingerprints, obtained however they had to obtain them, to hold your content hostage or force you into something else, an internet ghetto perhaps. Or if you don't pay them, your content can not be played outside of your own sites. Anything is possible. This is EXACTLY the sort of thing some dirt bag organization would pull in this industry. I wouldn't even put such a move past the FSC. I don't trust them to walk my dog, let alone have possible access to my content library. And yea, sure, today they don't have anything to do with it, but how about next year, or in 4 years?
Anyway, that is just one thing that came to mine as quickly as I could write it. I'm sure with some thought, I could think of a lot more in great detail. So that is the sort of thing people fear. The future. Time and time again people have been fucked over and now it's difficult to trust anyone, especially when it comes to your original content.
What was wrong with the last fingerprinting run with the FSC, Manwin, and Pink Visual? Why did this new venture have to spin off? If the first one was so good, as it was claimed to be, why the need for DMCA Force? Just so many questions, and when the FSC is involved, all trust goes right out the window. Then to hear they may have blocked others from using Vobile's service, that just puts me off even more and says they are only in this for a quick buck and not for the better of the industry. If they wanted to better the industry, which should be their role, they would not try to keep other groups from using Vobile.
Like I said before, great technology, but laying down with the FSC in any capacity turns me off, and now more than ever if what Eric says is accurate about them blocking others form using this technology from Vobile.
