Now, misuse could come if you are independently wealthy and can self fund, but at the end of the day if you are doing that in the US, the economy still benefits.
We have found that Redshift is comparable to other columnar databases we work with, while we cannot publish any comparative benchmarks, we did put a blog post on what we found (link in another comment here)
The main issue with Redshift is the lack of multiple sort orders on a table. Take a look at our blog post on first impressions gleaned during the preview. Disclosure: we are one of a couple of systems integrator partners for Redshift.

Using a similar setup, a friend in Oz and I also share ZT networks, so either he or I can use them to watch content that is only available regionally. The traffic uses home IPs, so it won't get blocked or detected.
It just works.
