Slow down Oliver Stone! These formal consortia tend to be far more open than the informal data-sharing that already exists on an ad-hoc basis.

It does not follow that cooperation among competitors will lead to the police kicking down your door. The evil empires have no interest in playing games with law enforcement and will work against any distracting overtures from them.
