I would also highly recommend Fanlib: Our wannabe corporate overlords for a look at what has me personally worried about Fanlib. If Fanlib can find a way to usurp an economic power of our space (on the back of our creative equity), then I fear that they will eventually succeed in what they only very thinly claim to have now-- legitimacy and permission (read: rights) from media sources.

I realize this is a very flimsy comparison, given the very different sources, but I'm going to make it (after disclaiming the heck out of it) anyway: Think about how iTunes et al. figured out how to make music downloading legal, and profitable. Now only companies that have the clout to make deals with the music industry can offer legal downloading, and anyone else gets prosecuted. Let's think about that. As soon as some company figures out how to truly economize our community, and can then begin to offer creators and owners of media output (say, Mutant Enemy) profit from an exclusivity agreement, we are shit out of luck resisting unless we want to give up our hobby.
