These are both very plausible worries, I think (though I think it could well be less than 100 years).
- The tanks need topping up with liquid nitrogen once a week and they store some onsite for emergencies, so it would take a hell of an infrastructural problem to thaw the corpscicles.
- Commercially is a bigger worry. Liquid nitrogen is cheap, and CI invest a lot of money very conservatively on your behalf when you get frozen, so it's not as certain as it may seem that they'll go bust and thaw you out, but it's by no means certain that they won't.
- Your last point is also a real worry, but I couldn't go so far as to say it was *more likely than not*. Doubtless someone somewhere will eventually propose this, but I'd be a little surprised if it got all the way to being made into law.
