    In a complete assault on right to self repair, several states are already trying to force 3d printers to validate what they’re printing with some database. They used guns as the Trojan horse but everyone knew it wouldn’t stay there and soon ip checks would be coming

      Didn’t this come to law in California already? Really infuriating that there’s actual possibility of 3d printers being regulated this way.

        Yeah California passed their law. One that’s not even technically feasible.

        I think NY has one in the works as well. Not sure if it’s status.
