I saw this coming. There's no way that someone wasn't going to try to exploit the hell out of of sharing.
And this is why still can't have nice things.

Were you seriously planning to share your library with more than 10 trustworthy people at a time ?

Dude, I have tons of friends. What do you think I am, some sort of nerd?
Seriously though, it always saddens me a bit how people will always take something like this and abuse the fuck out of it.

Let's be honest though, considering how the system works at its core, it's hardly possible to share your library with 10 people and have them use the feature on a regular basis even if you tried because everyone would just kick everyone else out of it all the time. And you'd have to be in offline mode 24/7.
I could of sworn there was already a 10 person limit. I very distinctly remember being told that I could only authorize up to 10 machines at a once.
Oh, and a feature that'd be great would be if you could choose to share specific games. I'd love to share single-player games with online friends, however I wouldn't want them to have access to my entire library and be able to get me VAC banned.
It's not open beta yet, is it?

i think it went from 10 computers to 10 users
Sort of lame how you can't grant access to certain games or something and still play other ones on yoru PC. I pictured being able to have friends over and having them play some games on a steambox or something while I could still play something on my PC. Or just being able to be logged into your steambox and your pc at the same time would be cool so you wouldn't have to log out everytime you wanted to play games on your TV.

There is no way your Steam account will be usable as a lending library like that, not until there is some major rethinking of what copyright means by the gaming industry. Family Sharing was never intended to be that feature.
Because who would buy a singleplayer game again? One person in your circle of friends buys it, pass it around, enjoy your other games the whole time your friends list beats the game one by one.

Well then I at least want the ability to be logged into my one steam account on a steambox and PC but you can only play games on one or the other at a time. Otherwise relogging in is going to get lame as fuck.

99% sure that you can't get VAC banned for their actions. When they play games, they get their own stats/achievements as if they owned the games themselves.
EDIT
Nope, I'm wrong :(

"Your Family Sharing privileges may be revoked and your account may even be VAC banned if your library is used by others to conduct cheating or fraud."

Really depends on the game.
There's plenty of singleplayer games I often re-play, and others I re-play every couple of years.
