> I suggest Wikimedia to distribute Wikimedia Commons content using tape drive. The largest tape drive (IBM 3592) can store 50 TB content. The total size of Wikimedia Commons is 610.4 TB. So it needs less than 15 tapes to store the entire site. You can lend the tapes to any company want your content, if they promise to return a in period of time.
Except that as soon as the tapes are written they are obselete and the data is stale, and so they realistically cannot be accepted as a valid copy of the data.
Don't know about that, but the necessary tape drive (IBM TS1170 according to Wikipedia) seems to be very hard to come by, as I couldn't even find a price via Google. It might be a better option to put the data on ~24 Seagate HDDs with a capacity of 26 TB each.
