And at the same time, prove either you choose not to read, or can't comprehend what you did read, if you did.  NOW HEAR THIS!  If one goes to DAZ commons and finds the thread on the same subject, there is an email posted from David, who is the CEO of the company owning and operating ShareCG.  If you read it very, very carefully, it states:

If you choose not to pay, NOTHING WILL CHANGE.  If you DON'T  LIKE THE ADS that are already there, pay the ten bucks.

And I'm certain, Garree, you'll be positively thrilled to know, I have nothing of yours in my runtime.  Re read the "Let'em burn".

I think the thread is "ShareCG in trouble" or something like that, top of page 7.

 D.

I was speaking about the original open letter detailing their intent. Obviously you aren't even considering the history of the site either.

Originally, the "carrot" to host your freebies there was that you'd be paid on ad revenue. So they get a bunch of content FREE to use to get money from ad banners.

Ad banners supposedly never paid off, so no one ever was paid a dime. BUT they still got money from advertisers.

Now they want to charge members to get content which they've obtained for FREE. And the point? To make the site commercially profitable. On Other people's work. Which they have available and cost them nothing at all to obtain.

I don't care whatever updates or clarification they've made. the bottom line it originally, they were going to compensate people to build a catalog there, and the reality is they never did.

I didn't create my freebies so someone else can make money on them. I created them to give back to the community, and I can host my free items at more places than I can even count. Places that do not intend to make money redistributing my content creations.

And as far as the snipe about not owning any of my products, fine. Your are obviously a jerk, and I'm glad you haven't bought any of them, because you don't deserve to own the very reasonably priced items I've created over the years.

I hope you also don't have any of the content I've worked on and sold to DAZ since you hate me so much for not wanting someone else to profit from MY work without compensating me for it. Or any of the freebies I've released as well, since you don't support who do provide free items for people to enjoy.

How can you justify someone else taking something you've created, not giving you anything at all for taking it, and then turning around to make money on it?

Please tell me what they actually offer that you cannot obtain on the web, other than other people's work they store there, and why if they vaporized tomorrow the world would end.

I see no reason at all to support them any longer, since I can store free digital content at a million places.

 

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
