FTA has been available for the USA for several years now and is Common around the rest of the world for many years.
http://www.ftalist.com/ is one of many web sites that have been on the web for several years. There is a whole culture of FTA people , with forums to join in. Americans tend to think that they have found something that only they know about and is new. I have been putting information on FTA , across the internet for several years now.
