So the FTP administrators are some sort of neutral ground, in that they distribute releases from a variety of groups. They are sort of the Warez Scene hosting providers? What are the incentives? Are these just people that have cheap access to fat connections, so the cost of running the FTP site is minimal? The ability to create 'leech accounts' for friends/family so long as they aren't sold (or is this also taboo)? Is unlimited personal access enough of an incentive?

Giving out some accounts for free is generally accepted. So yeah, one of the main incentives for FTP admins is personal & friend access. Beyond that, it's about the prestige, I think.
