I know they ATTEMPTED to curb it, but as I stated before, people will find a work around. And they have. Selling songs instead of albums. Digital goods instead of material. Your attempt at a counter-example only supports the theory that I put forth and that many in the field of 3d designing and modeling already adhere to.
the argument that a $500 dollar printer not living up to your standards is proof that 3d printing is inadequate, is like saying that cas are a poor mode of transportation because you drive a used pinto. I've ordered multiple heads from shapeways and een very pleased with the results. Of course I drive a 98 corolla, so maybe my standards are low,haha.
lastly, where did all the talk about 'hasbro doesn't care aout g.I.joe' go? In other threads people act like the figs they make are akin to leftoers being swept off the table for the dog. And here we're saying that a small community of collectos making their own shit under non-copywritten names will suddenly grab hasbro's attention and they'll come downon them with fines and court orders? If that's true, why haven't they gone after the casting community? everything casters sell are direct replicas of existing hasbro products. 3d printing will forr the most part be new designs, possibly copywritten by their designer. If they were going to start bringing the hammer down it would have happened already.
Thats cool, if people have access to a multi million dollar systems and can pump out gear better the hasbro's factories great have it, I just think theres a reason your not already seeing full figure printing...
Just watch, as people start hitting the soft areas of certain retailers/suppliers with this kinda thing, i.e ford motors car parts or parts you can buy from autozone lol, and they will find a way to kibosh it like they are already attempting to do with weapon/fire arm 3d printing. Its an easy fad to enjoy for now, but enjoy it while it lasts, its a little more controllable then the software/music thing as you can't download the printer
. Casting at home is not the easiest thing in the world to do and those doing it currently haven't struck a nerve with anyone outside logo infringement at one time. But 3d printers open the door to a whole new set of copy-able products and copying of said products that hasn't garnered much attention. In fact if it wasn't for the 3d pritned gun that guy made recently, it would still be realistically beyond most peoples imaginations that any of this is truly attainble now. Especially in the legal realms.
they can levy heavy taxes on it and regulate the files you download pretty easy all it takes is their decision to start controlling it before it gets to far outta hand like they did with ignoring the internet for so long, wont stop the back hand trading int he depths of the cyber black market but will curb a lot of legitmate people's sales. That starts in the courtroom though so well have to see what laws come of it. I would think it would not be unwise to copyright anything original or personal one creates in the meantime though before someone else takes it and does and then wraps it up under any sort of laws that spring out as the future unfolds.
