P2p is generally bad for this usecase. P2P generally only works for keeping popular content around (content gets dropped when the last peer that cares disconnects). If the content was popular it wouldnt need to be archived in the first place.
I think if you take this idea far enough you end up reinventing taxes from first principles.
Imagine a proof-of-space cryptocurrency that encouraged archiving long-tail data.
