It requires the other person to sign onto their steam account on your computer (I think) so I doubt anyone will steam family share the game

That's not the case, the owner of the game just needs to authorize the computer and user, but given the condition that if the borrower does any kind of cheating or fraud then the owner gets his/her account banned too. So I don't think anybody will be sharing with anyone other than trusted members.

Just like PS3 game sharing, I would steer clear of "sharing" anything with anonymous folks on the net. There's a reason it's called "family" sharing and not "anonymous leeches on the interweb" sharing.

Who are these trusted members ?

I'm assuming he alluded to family members when he used the term "trusted".
