3D Printing May Face Legal Challenges

angry tapir writes "A coming revolution in 3D printing, with average consumers able to copy and create new three-dimensional objects at home, may lead to attempts by patent holders to expand their legal protections, a paper from Public Knowledge says. Patent holders may see 3D printers as threats, and they may try to sue makers of the printers or the distributors of CAD (computer-aided design) blueprints, according to digital rights group Public Knowledge."

The only citizens of the USA who are likely to find this "blasphemous" are those who favor state control of the means of production.

So basically limited to only Obama and the vast majority of the Democratic Party, George Soros and all his sub-organizations, most of academia, organized labor, and the rest of the US Progressives and various communist/socialist political groups/organizations along with most of the mainstream US media.

Somehow, I don't feel reassured by the inclusion of that "only" in your description.
