It's Over. The Tool Bans Just Arrived!

Tech

First tool ban is here! A new law was just signed in New York that requires blueprint blocking technology on every CNC machine, laser cutter, lathe and 3D printer. This affects everyone who makes, builds or fixes things. This isn't a firearms law. It's a manufacturing law. And they buried it in the budget because they knew exactly what it was.

This is going to be a massive blow to the hobby of making blasters as well. We've been seeing more and more AMAZING, creative TOYS whose patterns are also going to be easily mistaken for gun blueprints. I wouldn't be surprised if toy companies are hoping to add copyright enforcement into that database, too. Think of it: No more DnD mini knockoffs, no more replacement pieces for Mouse Trap, no more printed cosplay pieces for Captain America, it'll all be illegal before the end of this decade.

It should be completely illegal to put anything in the state budget except budget stuff

Blocking technology, meet blocker blocking technology.

I am commenting for the sole purpose of helping this video get further. Corruption is shocking and disgusting.

They REALLY don’t want you to be able to fight back as everything else continues to get worse.

It's not a war on manufacturing. It's a competition

People are slowly waking up and more and more understand what "coincidences" and "connections" are. Thanks for informing us!!!

As someone from the UK the whole debate over censorship / surveillance involving tech is fascinating. One thing I can say is I haven't seen a well thought out law involving the internet in any western country since the whole online safety thing kicked off. I just think we're going to keep getting ever more draconian laws.

the stupidity of this is that you can obfuscate the 3d printed part into even smaller parts. and small toy parts is gonna be assumed to be a gun

This violates freedom of the press, and constitutes an unreasonable search.
