Mirror CC content to external servers (e.g. OurMedia.org, Archive.org)

Issue Summary

Since ourmedia.org promises to host all CC licensed work "for free for ever", it seems that adding the possibility to automatically publish attachments to these services would be a natural extension of the creative commons module. This would not only encourage the creation/submission of more CC'd content, it would provide a mechanism for small/independent media sites to reduce the costs/risks related to popular content (i.e. "slashdot-effect")... which is all the more costly/disabling when dealing with bulky multimedia content.

Title:add "upload to ourmedia.org/archive.org" extension» nice idea - perhaps a mirroring api mod?

I agree this would be a killer feature.

Not sure if the CC mod is appropriate for this as it seems to deal more w/ CC licensing of content.

Maybe a ourmedia/archive (or some sort of attachment mirror) mod would be more appropriate, focused on an api that mirrors content to other sites that allow this.

Nice idea and I agree that this would be a super mod to serve users who don't have space or bandwidth.

I like this idea, but it seems like work for a different module. This module is concerned with specifying and expressing the license terms for content on a site. Another module that pushes CC-licensed content could be made to depend on this license. Even better, because of CC metadata, a program could be written that copies CC content from any site over to those services.
