Yeah, and I'd also throw a few three-letter-agencies' hats in the ring, like the NSA. Would be a serious competition.

But I think we all know who the true winner is: Vladimir Putin. His personal stash has petabytes of material.

I think the largest storage source should be the US government (and other world governments). This is as it should be since they prosecute cases and naturally collect evidence. Evidence can’t be destroyed just because someone was found guilty.
