Many people that have websites often have 10GB of storage available...which is alot...so space may not be a factor. The issue here would be that Dan (which I think is the only website administrator here) would have to (to be safe) scan every upload and make sure there is no copyright violation. That requires one's time and effort to do this. He would already have to monitor posts made because if someone copied and pasted the entire Fiend Folio here for anyone to get...he would be liable...not the poster of the content. If you have to host things on some other server (or your own) the risk is off of Dan's shoulders as he merely has to monitor posts made here. So you just don't have the fear of running out of space one day, but you have the extra work involved as well.
