I can't speak for anyone else, but I joined VolunteerGrid2 because I
wanted to back up my files and because donating some of my extra
storage space to other like-minded individuals was more palatable than
paying a monthly fee to a storage company.
Of course, there are other scenarios besides volunteer hosted
distributed file systems - enterprise-wide, university-wide (e.g., AFS),
community-wide, project-wide, illicit activities (e.g., the early
Napster), and probably quite a bit more.
