Well, there is ourmedia.org which uses the internet archive to actually store 
the files. And the files are able to be found on the internet archive even if

http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=%28creator%3A%22drew%20Roberts%22%29%20OR%20%28collection%3A%28ourmedia%29%20AND%20%2Fmetadata%2Fauthor%3A%28drew%20Roberts%29%29
