3D printing gunmaker forms company to flout copyright law, à la the Pirate Bay: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/03/3d-printing-gunmaker-forms-company-to-flout-copyright-law-a-la-the-pirate-bay/


Wilson's new company is called DefCAD, and public records show it was registered as a Delaware corporation on March 4, 2013. Wilson told Ars that this new company will expand the work DefCAD.org has been doing so far. The company is looking to raise $500,000 in the next 30 days, after which it will formally open for business.

Wilson said DefCAD will become a for-profit corporation that will act as a one-stop search engine for “3D printable models” of just about anything. In other words, DefCAD hopes to be an expanded version of the physibles section on the Pirate Bay.

“It maintains all the present features but we step it up a notch,” Wilson told Ars. “The Pirate Bay has the right idea with physibles, but increasingly the fight is going to be about physical copyright—we want to build one of the tools early.”

And like the Pirate Bay, which has thumbed its nose at corporations, copyright, and the legal system for digital goods, Wilson suggests DefCAD would do the same for physical objects as much as possible.

Definitely has implications for the future; in a world where any gun could be theoretically printed (and this is only the beginning of this tech), regulations are literally worthless. Yes, you can make it illegal to own a hand-gun or to print a gun, etc...but there's no way, inherently, to stop it. You can require X, Y, or Z on a printer, but the source code can be yanked and recoded, etc.

Still has a long way to go before it becomes 100% mainstream though.

Why would that be done, when it is not illegal for me to make a metal gun for myself? 80% Lowers, for example.

It has to do with xray scanners at airports, etc. not being able to pick up plastic gun parts.

How? You'd need to ban the internet. File distribution has never been shut down no matter how hard the aristocrat fucks have tried.

It would be on a possession level. They can "ban" anything they want... In reality, American's are still gonna smoke a bowl and drive over the speed limit.

Excellent cause. I'm pretty damn excited for this myself. Hopefully 3D printers come down in price and I could afford to buy one. Promising stuff.

I hope he gets the support he needs. This project is of pivotal importance, and could very well change the world.

Its being added to the reauthorization bill of The Undetectable Firearms Act that its sunset date is December 9, 2013.

You cannot ever make a fully functioning gun out of plastic. Mainly because of the barrel, upper, and firing pin. These will be the parts that they try to restrict. I can see laws in the future where barrels are mandated to have serial numbers and be ATF approved. An all plastic gun [truly undetectable] is unfeasible. There was a similar outcry with polymer frames.

I am sure that a massive play at heart strings will occur where they bring up 9/11 and act as if a printed gun could make it through a metal detector. And Americans will not be the wiser.

Rep. Steve Israel introduces his 'undetectable' gun and magazine ban

U.S. Representative Steve Israel (D-NY) is as enthusiastic a pusher of oppressive gun laws as one would expect from a New York Democrat. Israel, though, is something of a specialist. The gun issue that he really claims to worry about, bizarrely, is the idea that 3-D printing technology will not only bypass "gun control" laws, by empowering people to produce guns on their own with the click of a mouse, but that these guns, being composed of plastic, will not be detectable by airport scanning equipment.
