[edit] How to mitigate people's fears thereof
I've seen several products/services take efforts to assure would-be users that their information will always be theirs, they'll always be able to get it back out, and that they don't need to worry about vendor lock-in. This pleases me.
Bare Bones Software : Products : Yojimbo (http://www.barebones.com/products/yojimbo/).

There are as many uses for Yojimbo as there are users of it. It accepts almost anything—text, bookmarks, PDF files, web archives, serial numbers or passwords—by dragging, copying, importing or even printing! You can get anything out of Yojimbo you put into it, in its original form—no lock-in.
