Pretty much. If you really want to maintain access to old stuff in perpetuity, you have to pay for it yourself by either storing it on your own equipment or paying someone to store it on theirs.

Sure -- but at least with something p2p hooked up to it I can let someone else benefit from my desire to assure my own access.

The Internet Archive isn't perfect either. They can be pressured to remove pages.

It's not perfect. If you desire to store content that the Internet Archive must dark for whatever legal or compliance reasons, you'll have to cover the cost for that storage. The cost will always be non zero to perform such an operation.
If the concern is perpetual access to archived content but under your terms, that is where the cost comes in. Somebody somewhere is paying for power, cooling, connectivity, and disks. The Internet Archive estimates it costs them $2/GB to host data uploaded in perpetuity. Please consider donating if you're uploading content for permanent archival and/or deriving value from hosted content.
