Thanks! Many answers:

- storing is super cheap. seeding not v expensive. i think the entire npm reg is <1TB?

- (soon can ship entire registries in USB keys!)

- many individuals and orgs should keep/replicate what they depend on

- tools like ipfs-cluster will help organize nodes like a RAID array

- can pay services to back things up (on service infra in vogue)

- can pay _the network_ to back things up -- see http://filecoin.io
