Sharby took them down because someone used his Spiderman for commercial purposes and didn't credit him at all. Sharby understands that he cannot legally sell the comic figures as is because it would be a violation of Marvel TOS, etc. He made them to be making them and not for profit.

The individuals in question used his textures, didn't credit him, AND passed it on as THEIR work to sell some children's products/service. So, now those individuals are under the scrutiny of Sharby AND Marvel.

Thus, Sharby took his stuff down because he got tired of folks using his stuff and not crediting him, plus folks were bandwidth stealing by hotlinking the url's and not making vistors visit his site while he's paying for the bandwidth.
