88k per year per petabyte is a small price to pay to protect your entire business from being wiped out.

Devil's advocate: it depends on how many petabytes you have. This cloud of uncertainty over your uploads could be seen as the hidden cost of using a free platform.

So far as Myspace (or Tumblr apparently) is concerned, it is "somebody else's computer of uncertainty".
