A file on how to print a gun is pretty useless without the right 3D printer to actually print the physical gun. Within the US, ITAR shouldn't apply, so file and printer are (or should be) OK.
Shouldn't ITAR be applied against the 3d Printing technology? The printer, after all, is (a) much tougher to get, and (b) much more expensive, than merely downloading a useless file.
It's actually more noise inducing that the summary here, because it requires a warning sign on any business property that may contain said chemicals. That's right, you'd be hard pressed to find any food establishment (fast food, restaurant, even Starbucks) that does *NOT* have a Prop 65 warning sign because of the cleaning solutions used.
1. Anyone who uses morning-show DJs as their primary source of news (especially life threatening news) should be classified as 'non-sentient'.
2. I would love to see the DJs forced apology to read "We're sorry for our April Fools Day broadcast. We had no possible way to believe people would be stupid enough to believe a 7th-grade joke."
3. Further, I believe the DJs should quit, because their listeners *ARE* stupid enough to believe a 7th-grade joke!
But I thought it was Brett Gibbs' First Amendment right to call out wacky legal theories and pull the I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I rabbit out of the hat?
Damn! I was hoping for the ability to unleash an actual, controllable Godzilla! How awesome would that be?! Now mayors would have to balance running a city with Civil Defense!
*RAR!* *STOMP!* *RAR!* *STOMP!* *RAR!* *STOMP!* "Bring up the tanks! Call for support from another city!" *RAR!* *STOMP!* *RAR!* *STOMP!* *RAR!* *STOMP!*
The RCC is doing what it normally does. Eliminates evidence, sweeps a problem under the rug, and pretends nothing happened. Why should anyone be surprised?
Wrong target?

I honestly wonder if Andrew Schroeder is in anyway related to Paul "I wwebsite as on the internet" Christoforo?

I swear I wanted to read that second quote as:

Or maybe I'm confusing lawyers. *scratches head*

The Replacements
John Steele, et al, has secretly replaced Alan Cooper and Allan Mooney with Folgers Crystals.
Folgers immediately denies any involvement.

Supply list
When reading Techdirt stories, I invariable need either (a) aspirin, or (b) popcorn.
This definitely falls in the 'popcorn' category.
Alternate tactics
At least GWF didn't just plagiarizer the original story then take it down with a bogus DMCA claim!
