He is promptly raped by all the men in the tribe.
At least it wasn't a lingering rape.
If this could ever actually work - which it can't - I wouldn't want my digital photos to expire anyway. BUT if anybody actually does want this, why doesn't facebook just delete them after the expiry date?

Define "file". If you use a RAID system you're already storing more than just a string of bits. What about if this "file" is on local network storage - are you allowed to copy chunks of it to your local hard drive while it's playing? And then into memory - that's another copy.. ker-ching!
