This is clearly an institutional problem. The technical solutions proposed here are part of the solution but you need an institution to store your data and need that institution to have a adequate incentive and financial means to really keep it. Here is a long and complex description of such an institution: http://cap-lore.com/BigStore/DataBank.html . I have 100 year old photographs. I think the data bank would likely keep your bits that long. I wish someone would steal my idea!
