You may not be named on record, but you may be physically removed. The problem now is looking for another place you have no rental history as you were off the books. As much as you drive us crazy, i hope you get some kind of roof over your head.
Can't sell it properly with the restricted internet access in this house. Since it now looks as if the lessee (the guy from whom we are renting) will be leaving soon, normal internet access could come soon to this house, at which time I should be able to sell it properly and make mass quantities of cash. (And, no, I don't know how many dollars are in a ton of cash.)
So, this is a good thing - you and the others are all communicating with the owner? Did he come to the house and meet everyone?
Another thought, since all of "the rest of us" are working together now, why not get with one or two others that you trust and go rent a regular apartment, with room for your storage items and internet access.
Several of us (NOT including the lessee, who collected our respective room rents early this week and left town for the Coast - where it is 70 degrees as opposed to 100 here) met with the landlord earlier today. We met at a coffee shop in between our respective locations. It was very productive. Landlord has been shorted rent money by the lessee and understands all room renters have paid timely - the lessee actually DROVE us to our respective banks to get the rent money early in order to fund his getaway. (I'm assuming lessee and his freeloaders will return tomorrow (Sun) but others are doubtful.)
Best scenario is where lessee and his freeloaders (four people in all) get evicted and the rest of us stay, and I move into the (larger) space vacated by the freeloaders, which would allow me to store my items at home and ditch the rented storage unit. Obviously I'd be happy to pay more for this.
OMG!
Does this mean every LL isn't just a greedy bloodsucker?
Yes, it largely correlates with how much property the person owns and/or manages. Generally there is a vast difference between landlords who own a single property (often SFR) and those who own hundreds or dozens of properties. Avoiding property managers and BIG landlords (those with vast property holdings) often works out well. It's probably one of those 80/20 things, where 20% of the landlords and 20% of the tenants cause problems for the other 80% who are NOT the problem.

How exactly will the lessee's departure get normal Internet access to the house?

You keep asking questions that have been answered a hundred times.
The master tenant is a convicted sex offender and the terms of his parole are that no porn can be used on the internet. This valuable stuff that freemkt can't sell, but has to store, is vintage pornography. He can't put pictures of the stuff onto the internet from that computer connection. He can't sell it if he doesn't put a photo of it into the ad offering it for sale.

That's concise and correct but misses a few points that have popped up from time to time that make his story even more inane:
-OP says the whole stash is worth 10K, and he pays around 2-300/month for storage. That's bad math.
-recently he gave some detail about the nature of the impaired internet that strongly suggested it's really not that impaired
-IIRC, it's old Playboys and similar material which, though I'm not trying to split hairs, is barely porn
-never mind the myriad solutions that have been offered to solve all these self-perpetuating problems
