As long we make us dependent on centralized servers/services, we will always be vulnerable to single point of failures.
Solution might be something out of this:

So everybody could join the "backup network" and as soon somebody adds a file, the others will backup/sync it too.
Though that might introduce some problems:
- collecting files
- sync scripts
- managing of illegal files
- malicious backup providers in general
- collecting of backup ip
ort's
- categorizing of data to give a nice user interface for normal users
Maybe the only thing needed at first is some trust and 2-3 ppl who sync each other with some simple rsync script and http-dir-listing for users. When somebody kills his root coz > reasons, it's no big deal.
Would be nice if Filefront would rsync the CoD files to one of our servers... but I guess that won't happen.
