The original length of copyright in the United States was 14 years, and it had to be explicitly applied for. If the author wished, they could apply for a second 14year monopoly grant, but after that the work entered the public domain, so it could be used and built upon by others.
The radio in my truck does not have bluetooth, but it does have an aux port. If the choices are buy a new radio or choose a different phone, which way do you think I am going to go?
It's still the right idea, if you remove the "wait in the store while it prints" part. Maybe order online, let the store print it, get an email to pick it up/send it via regular mail. While things like Shapeways and 3D Hubs do exactly that, there's no store doing the same thing. So if you live in a big enough city with a few people listed on 3D Hubs you might be able to pick it up yourself, otherwise there's always the shipping delay.
I've read about UPS teaming up with a company about doing exactly that, but I haven't heard anything since then.
Someday, a while from now, you'll be able to go to a website, select a cup or a custom statue or whatever, have it 3D printed and delivered to your door for a fairly reasonable, even cheap, price.
While I agree that a hobby-grade 3-axis CNC can do things a 3D-printer can't, there's also no denying that the same CNC cannot do parts like these. Each machine have their own strengths.
You might want to look into 3D-printed molds from Stratasys. It's not as strong (i.e. very limited runs) as metal molds but for short runs of prototypes it seems to be an excellent solution.
I wouldn't call 3D printing "a step above CNC", just like a laser cutter is not "a step above CNC" either. Each of these three computer-controlled tools are complementary because they each have their own strengths and weaknesses.

You are changing the argument from content to license. Does not compute.
Moderator probably thinks USA law applies in all countries.
AFAIK Kickstarter has some regional/banking requirements that Indiegogo doesn't.
I read somewhere that it's something used to make sandwiches.
There's too many people outside, it's quieter at the Inn.
Maybe I'll go at the auction house later though.
If anything, to be at least geek-related, they should have written "Share and Enjoy!(TM)".
Buy a new truck?

1. Design ultra-thin phone
2. Disregard warnings from engineers
3. Profits!
I think you mean $200 price tag.
"Election"
Probably a SLS part.
Wow, "FU Maytag"? That's extremely similar to just "Maytag", they're bound to get sued!

You mean something like Shapeways or 3D hubs*?
* they also list commercial/industrial-quality services, not just home owners.

You assume that the cost of streaming licenses are equal to the cost of their DVD rental licenses, which are probably very different.
