Location does not matter. Keeping control over your content does.
It is like your finances. When you give your finances to some dude who promise you to take care of them, honestly, he even swear, it is your fault when all your money gone. What is obvious and reasonable way to preserve your money? Of course you don't put all eggs into one basket. You keep cash, may be some precious metals, have few bank accounts, invest into different businesses.
Why the thought to do something similar with your content doesn't come to most heads? And content could be copied, unlike money. You could easily preserve all of your content, not just part of it. Do backups, point web-scrappers to it, use multiple third-party platforms, share it with p2p networks. And if some third-party do something with your content you don't like, you not only will be able to easily restore it, but also clearly show all your content consumers who did that and how.
