With all this hoopla, Assange and Wikileaks will serve as an inspiration and martyr to others who will create sites for similar purposes. I'd even consider creating one myself if I had the resources.

As for the content hosted by Wikileaks itself, thousands of mirrors and torrents of that have been going up since the fervor over the cables. I wouldn't worry too much about that. I think the real worry should be that Assange is about to get black-bagged.

Similar sites exist already e.g. Cryptome. It's just a matter of getting information to a source that will publicise it, and whether others have the chops to go as far as Wikileaks, even risking events like this.
