Well, this is not an angle I'd considered before in my research (the sustainability of digital resources in museums, since you ask), but I guess it's interpretation of the problem:
Pirate Bay server becomes museum artefact
Whether the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology will be sustaining the file-sharing service is another matter.
I guess, joking aside, that really does highlight the key difference between (my definitions of) sustaining and preserving: the latter is about keeping stuff in existence, the former about fulfilling their purpose.
