I think it's important to look at these things from a practical point of view as well as an ethical one. Nerd gives away a LOT of good free stuff. Free stuff may be free for people who download it isn't free for those of us that give it away. I'm only able to provide my free stuff because of the sales I make here as a vendor. My geocities site kept getting closed because of bandwidth usage, and I don't give away a fraction of the stuff Nerd does. Just remember that if you deprive Nerd of his sales, you may be depriving yourself and the rest of us of his free stuff. As a huge fan of free stuff myself, I'd definitely prefer continued access to Nerd's free stuff over a free backdrop. If his site goes, his tutorials also go. I would never have invented EasyPose without Nerd's tutorials. Shuting down a site that has such useful technical tutorials could deprive us of the next big Poser innovation. Also, with regard to the arguments about backdrops not being a new or copyrightable idea, I'd like ask if this one is designed to be compatible with the free textures for Nerd's prop. It would seem to me that releasing one that is designed to go with the free textures already available for Nerd's is definely treading on toes - and not lightly either.
