Permanent.org – Nonprofit, perpetual cloud storage

One-time payment of $10 per GB. Hmm, seems a bit rich since current storage rates are $0.00099/GB/mo (Amazon Deep Archive). $10 would store a GB on Amazon for 841 years: 10/(0.00099*12) = 841.750

Considering that the average corporate lifespan of S&P500 corporations in 2020 was 21 years, this storage service seems ridiculous.

Edit: I just had a look at their TOS. Short, and to the point, ie, "we can terminate service at any time".

Getting all your money upfront sounds like a great "non-profit" business idea to me. I tried looking up their IRS 990 form, but I couldn't find their official corporate name or EIN anywhere.
