It looks like some kind of sharing is part of the offer: https://www.permanent.org/digital-archives/services/exclusive-sharing/ https://www.permanent.org/digital-archives/services/exclusiv... I would like to see more details on this. Bandwidth-limited sharing would still be economically feasible up to a point. If they have run the numbers and are careful to leave a generous safety margin, I can see this working out. Eventually it will fail, as everything does, but it could last a very long time before that happens. One more thought: if they are successful, they may accumulate a substantial endowment, at which point the primary risk is capture of that endowment by unethical board members. They have a good board right now, but will that always be the case? Time will tell.

We're making a lot of assumptions about a service that should probably be making things a lot more clear before they start taking money. My assumption is that "sharing" means sharing with family, etc. as opposed to publishing.

  *> My assumption is that "sharing" means sharing with family, etc. as opposed to publishing. You don't have to make any assumptions. It's right there on the web page that was linked to: "You choose what files or folders you want to share, who you want to share them with and what level of access that Archive should have."
