Pirate bay adds 3d objects, immediately used to pirate warhammer

>In a blog post The Pirate Bay said that physical objects ("physibles") represent "the next step in copying".

>"We believe that things like three dimensional printers, scanners and such are just the first step," the website said. "We believe that in the nearby future you will print your spare sparts for your vehicles. You will download your sneakers within 20 years.

>"The benefit to society is huge. No more shipping huge amount of products around the world. No more shipping the broken products back. No more child labour.

>"We'll be able to print food for hungry people. We'll be able to share not only a recipe, but the full meal. We'll be able to actually copy that floppy, if we needed one."

>And as soon as the Pirate Bay 'physibles' section launched, at least one company appeared to have been made a target.

>A model listed by an anonymous user as a 'Tabletop Wargaming Robot Model' - but identifiable to the Huffington Post UK as the likeness of a Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine Dreadnought, which is a trademarked design of the UK-based Games Workshop Group PLC - was freely available and had already been downloaded by at least 23 people as of press time.

>The model, an official version of which costs £28 from Games Workshop, has been previously listed on a 3D printing community website, but the plans were reportedly pulled after a takedown notice was issued.

Hurr durr, you have to be obtuse to use that term, other thing is downloading copyrighted designs to mechanically produce objects.

Can't quite tell what you're saying, but Games Workshop figures are literally just models.

Can I pirate the 3D printer itself?

[Anonymous No.]

>>8484364
Yes, but you need a 3D printer to print it.

Seriously though, if you're good with building shit, you can make one yourself.

You had me until the end. As if the pirate bay ever takes anything down because of takedown notices.

If only this could advance to a point where we could print out and then burn discs of games downloaded from internet game purchasing services.

That's not how 3D printers work. All they make is a physical copy. They can colour properly, but the product is always the same material.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8484376
Guess I'll just go to my local library and print out my own 3D printer from their 3D printer.

I want it to advance to the point where I can download something like this off the internet.

Why that's GENIUS

[Anonymous No.]

>>8484404
Because they can stil copy most mechanical apparatuses. You could model mechanical clock on your computer, print it out and the thing would work.
And in the future they will probably be able to print in different materials.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8484389
As pointed out that isn't how it works but even if it was I think if gaming companies ever had any intention of letting you do that then there would be an option on these services to burn to blank dvds already

Public 3D Printers? I had no idea. I have to check any library on the entire shoreside.

[Anonymous No.]

i'm interested how this pans out in the figure industry as 3d printers get more affordable.
sure you can print out the fig you always wanted but i doubt the quality will be the same. also its just not the same as owning the original.

on the flipside maybe fig makers will be forced to step up their quality or lower their prices.
not a shred of sympathy for GW though. their shit has always been way to overpriced.

I remember reading in an earlier thread that the goop for the device in that video is really fucking expensive.

The more affordable models produce results more like pic related.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8484498
Someone posted a 3D printed figure in one of the fig threads some time ago, the level of detail was ridiculously good.
3D printers are still limited color-wise, though, so it's more likely to be a substitute for garage kits instead of prepainted figs.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8484529
Isn't it supposed to get much cheaper soon as the patents are going to expire, though?

[Anonymous No.]

I wonder if people will still say that filesharing is free.
Cause that's far from the truth.

Storage media is expensive, and in the EU they even have a fee that they "tax" people when they buy storage media to give to artists or whatnot because of file sharing (even though its still illeagal to share said files).
Electricity, to have a computer up and running all the time to download said files also adds up for some notble sums by the end.
And the internet connection itself, ISPs require money.

Filesharing is allot more expensive than food or whatnot.
And 3D printing, the materials for that shit costs money too.

Do you have a link? I don't really know what fig thread it would be and there are quite many of them, to search the archive would be well.
Do you have one?

couldnt you get some kind of grey shit, instead of the red? Either way, downloading a real doll or something sounds fun. Or downloading a burger. If only it was capable of deconstructing molecules or even atoms and reconstructing them so it could make ANYTHING. Alas, the far future is, indeed, far away.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8484550
You would think such things, but then again I work for the government of the USA. Things like this have been around for a good 6 years now. There is no way on hell any one will be able to use one publicly for another 20 years, if that. Anything I make is under wraps until at least after I die, or at least that is the assumption I have come to hold.

[Anonymous No.]

the moment that this starts getting popular and the japanese start using 3d scanners to copy their figs, I'll buy one regardless of cost.
I can see it replacing some things, but many things are going to be a no go because a specialized factory is going to be able to print them far cheaper, and manufacturers get a far better deal on raw material than we will ever get on the spooled raw material.

Stuff that you only need 1 of? Maybe.
Stuff that you need 100s of, use very precise techniques or use specialized raw materials? No.
That includes things like cd/dvd/bdr, hard drives, etc isn't going to happen for a very very long time if ever.

[Anonymous No.]

>>8484575
Are you going to paint all the figures yourself?

[Anonymous No.]

Maybe one day this will evolve so much we will be able to even pirate video game and movie ISOs themselves, skipping the need to slowly print the entire disk. My world just got so much brighter.

[Anonymous No.]

If only you learned about hard drives and daemon tools. There hasn't been a reason to own a disk in almost a decade now.

I wonder if printing off a human will be as simple as it was in Fullmetal Alchemist? Or perhaps even easyier, just get a couple pigs and put them in the material reserves and print out your girl.

[Anonymous No.]

Self-replicating 3D printers are the first step to our eventual demise at the hands of rebellious automatons. Though I guess if we can enjoy a number of years pirating figs, I'll consider it a fair trade.

Only if we all print off Miku. I would not mind a Miku Inquisition.

[naitoknaito No.]

>>8486274
Nope, we're used to this because nature have selected through milenia of evolution the most belicious, highly adaptative organisms to survive, we had always in ourselves the concept of: "if you lose something without obtaining a compensation you're getting penalized by the laws of existence, so you won't exist anymore" so only beings who avoid their destruction keep existing.

This forced the stoic nature to get pruned due to blah,blah,blag Darwin.
But being destroyed is nothing but peace for intelligent, not Darwinismic beings, I'd rather bet on they killing themselves rather than killing us.
Think about it, our gene scream: DONT FUCKING KILL YOURSELF, THAT'S NOT HOW ANIMAL WORKS,YOU SHOULD LIVE,FUCK,EAT AT ANY COST. Yet we still kill ourselves due to intelligence neglecting our very own nature.

Intelligence is not impronted with the desire to survive, hence kill anything that endanger your existence, only life is.

If the day when machines kill us comes is because we designed it specifically to happen.

I always wonder if a service, similar to the printing service we have now, except for 3D stuff is doable. If it's a model, you can have the option of getting it painted with an extra charge.

I'd imagine most if not almost all of the faithful collectors have at least tried their hands at painting.
Some are probably decent at it.
