I'd agree. For some insight, see this discussion about the Jolly Roger.
Also, compare it to cards such as Elemental Skin or Pillar of Life. Those cards make it clear that all characters at the location can use it. So, the default is that "you" is the character that played the card.

Really, you have to have the memory, not the cards. The same is true in quite a few situations. For example, playing Strength has you display the card by another character. When it is time to recharge it at the end of the turn, you need to remember that you are the one who played it.
Rage is a different issue, you display (with no qualification, so in front of you) but you choose another character. It recharges not at the end of "the" turn but at the end of "your" turn. That means it could be almost 6 full turns before you recharge it. That means that 5 turns after you play it, it might be applying to someone and you have to remember who you chose.
I've been working on little tokens to place on displayed cards to signify the character that played it and/or the character it applies to. I haven't had a problem remember, but making things like that is fun. At least for me.
Oh, and don't forget the Bunyip, which increases the difficulty of your checks for the rest of the turn, which means it will be affecting you long after it has been banished or shuffled back into the deck.

Bringing this post back-not quite dead yet (although the title may be misleading:)
I ran into the barrier Lightning Storm.
"Display this barrier next to your location.
While displayed, when you start your turn...."
Based on Irgy's reply above it says "you"; does that mean the storm only applies to the character that encounters it originally?
I've been bouncing it around while it zaps all characters.

You've played it right. "You" on a boon and "you" on a bane are different. This is in the rules from the section about banes:
If a bane says an effect happens if or when you do a particular thing, it applies to any character who does that thing.
Lightning Storm is a bane. It has a power that is an effect that happens when you start your turn at it's location. It applies to any character who starts their turn at it's location.
Though, admittedly, the sentence before that should probably be removed: "These special rules apply when you encounter the bane." Powers are now defined as being active on page 16 in the sidebar. I don't think we need banes to say they apply when you encounter them. And this has never been completely true, since Collapsed Ceiling, back in RotR, had a power that applied while it was faceup on top of the deck.
