From Archive.org, Free Multimedia Hosting for Life

Posted by timothy on from the but-then-they'll-have-to-kill-you dept.

powerline22 writes "From the people who gave you the Internet Archive comes Ourmedia, a place for grassroots media to flourish. Upload anything, maybe a video, some pictures, your custom applescript, and it gets hosted for free, for life. Drupal is hosting the site, and the Internet Archive is providing hosting and bandwidth for the files."
