Is it possible to replace Google Cloud Storage with a CDN? (in other words, find a CDN that lets you manage files - create/delete - and give you a URL to each file with an allowed origin of * to be able to pull it from anywhere?)

It would make sense to me: if someone causes distress on someone else through their actions, I imagine you can make a legal case for going after him/her, especially if the first person does it for a gain (of notoriety, publicity, fame,
