3D printing is one technology that could unwittingly bring anti-user innovations like DRM into the physical world. In the name of fighting “physical goods piracy,” disrupted industries may call on Congress to pass laws mandating certain limiting features be include in new 3D printers. This talk will discuss some of the intellectual property ramifications of widespread 3D printing, and outline some of the work being done to build allies among policymakers before problems arise. The talk will also include a more general discussion about how the larger Open community can work towards the same goals.
