Space is not an area of particular interest to me but I'm sad to see another skilled designer giving up due to the piracy situation. Life sucks I guess, but against a huge Chinese company like Alibaba, I can't offer any suggestions for retribution. They are reputed to be bigger than Amazon International now and rapidly expanding throughout the world using many different trade names.

Making your models available through Ecardmodels would keep them available to us and monetize them for you, but it won't solve the piracy problem. Both the Chinese and Russian pirates seem quite happy to buy in models that they can then copy for resale.

However, I feel I must point out to Erik that even if you have closed down everything under your control, your website is still available through the Wayback Machine and as far as I can tell the download links are still active. You may have to cancel the server hosting accounts and request that they are closed down completely.
