Laurie, you're either missing the statement, or choosing to ignore it, that sharecg freebies are operating in the red.  I read from what you write, you'd rather see the resource disappear than be asked to help pay for the storage and bandwidth that David has to pay for somehow.  They tried one business model, actually, over the years several of them and they haven't worked.  I would doubt there are many here that haven't used some resource downloaded from Sharecg, and a lot of people use a lot of downloads from there. 

Would it not have been simpler to move your stuff to wherever, removed ShareCG from your tag line, made a quiet announcement in the free stuff forum that you did and let it go at that?  They're not trying to rip anyone, they're trying to stay alive, going about it in what I see as a very reasonable manner.  Asking users of a service to help pay the cost of that service is something I don't see as unreasonable in any way.
