It's pretty difficult to build up 80TB of stuff that's not original data.

Wat? The easiest way to build up a large collection of files, especially one that is only worth it to back up if you can do so inexpensively, is downloading movies. I would guess this describes most people who store lots of data.

Also, the lesser number of people storing large amounts of original data (eg videographers) probably create enough community goodwill to make up for the cost.
