I feel like this is the crux of the matter. You could easily get 32 people on this site to volunteer 1 TB each, if it were just cold storage. However, making those resources accessible and searchable (with all the pitfalls of compliance, uptime, legality, etc) is a totally different ballgame.

Encrypted shards partially solves this, but then you hit the quandry of "But what if I have a shard of something illegal or undesired enough to upset the wrong people?" which has not been thoroughly tested in our legal system.
