And you thought that the MPAA tracking torrents was bad... now not only are you seeding potential copyright infringement (I don't know what the license actually is), but you might now also be circumventing arms control laws. That is a whole level of legal hurt that I'd rather avoid. You might not be able to stop the signal, but I'm pretty sure Mr. Universe still died at the end of Serenity.

That file didn't exist in 1995, but if it had, distributing it outside the US would also have run afoul of arms control laws.
Technology changes, and laws change with it. The laws, almost without exception, lag several years behind the technology.

#23Wow, this is unbelieveable... I didn't realize they had this power, or that they'd exercise it like that... it's just scary to think that the internet is not as free or open as it feels or appears.
Was it on a .com domain? Because they've had the power to take those down for a few years now.

the items that DD designed are all open source designs, so the likelyhood of copyright infringement is ... minimal.

#25(Parts of) weapons is just the beginning. After the Music and Film industry, will we now see the manufacturing industry go after individuals sharing 3D maps of 'their' content?

#27Meanwhile, I grabbed it off TPB and, judging by the number of seeds, was hardly the first to think of doing so. Why the USG thinks it can put the cat back in the bag is beyond me.

Does a tinyurl link to a torrent count?

#29People do realise that improvised firearms are actually nothing new right? They've been around for ages - indeed 3D printed versions are vastly inferior to their machine shop counter parts which have been used quite effectively in the past for various political and gang related assassinations.

They should probably ban flash lights as well.
