First and foremost, I want to say I have never shared nor sold your files. That being said, I have considered it pretty seriously. Not to make a profit, but because while I know YOU can't share the old helms deep files (due to protection), I probably could. And out there is some kid who like me is obsessed with LOTR and would LOVE to print some stuff from his favorite books. Because of that I heavily contemplated throwing them up on thingiverse for a while. The only thing that have stopped me was that you were updating the files so you could sell them on your store again, and at that point I figured I was robbing you of potential sales which didn't sit well with me. I feel comfortable releasing the files for free if they were just going to disappear and no one was ever going to hear/see them again...but I didn't once I realized you had plans re-work/re-sell them. I know the fact that I even considered putting it up for free might make me sound like a bad guy (keep in mind the fact that I didn't), but isn't there someway we could opensource the original helms deep so that people can enjoy them? Maybe a couple months after you release your updated Mountain Keep? I just feel like when art this cool is made, it deserves to be printed. That being said, I just want to re-iterate one more time that I didn't share/release them. I just considered it.

i'm also looking for the lake-town files but in a legit way :) when they are available again i will buy that right away, it's such a shame that people are selling or swapping or sharing the STL
