The question's been asked "why not put all the Jan 2003 Styx content up for free". Here's the maths ...

We know that in 5 hours, around 600 people downloaded a recent WIR clip of 19Mb. We also know that any free clip we offer attracts around 2000-3000 people in 2-3 days.

We are about to delete 3.2Gb of photos and videos. If we offered those for free we would need servers capable of 5000Gb (5 Terrabytes) of bandwidth in a month.

Who do you know who has that much bandwidth that they would give away for free? That's around 5 times the web server capacity of the largest corporates.

Maybe it will sink in soon to people that there is no such thing as FREE?
