haha I was wondering the same thing:

edit: I have the code for expiring files in my local mercurial branch, and I've been wondering whether to push it

edit2: I don't think your design is so bad :)

I was thinking of the file expiry as more of a way to push people onto paid plans.

I was planning to expire the file after a week, but allow the uploader to re-enable hosting for that file for the next year (so I'd have the file on the server for a year, and if the person comes back, they can pay a couple dollars and the file would be hosted for some more time.

This is a very half baked plan, but I think it could work.
