Is there any good reason for content creators to refuse to sign? It sounds like they earn just as much money, so what's the issue? Sure, being forced to sign a contract is lame, but the new contract doesn't seem to harm them in an

Why is that a problem? If we don't need to use the land for farming or grazing, what's the harm in letting it fill up with bushes and trees?

I wasn't commenting on the security, just on the "blurts the magstripe information" comment. Apologies if you meant that metaphorically. As for the rest of your comment, I don't think you're doing any risk modeling.

I didn't see this as being a business service at all, it seems completely aimed at a consumer and maybe hobbyist market. The comparison to Amazon is just about bringing the convenience, not the scale. I've had to ship a few things
