Printcrime
This is a short story by Cory Doctrow that addresses copyright issues with 3D printers in a dysfunctional setting. The story is very unusual and has great insight and elicits serious thought. The text does not take long to read but the though, debate and contemplations it will create are intense. Many refer to Doctorow as micro fiction due to the brevity and pointedness of his works. Every word of the book promotes healthy debate and it explores a subject few have envisioned. This book is aa fantastic and thought provoking text and it is incredible the debate it creates in such few pages. It is worth reading just to get a feel for what the advancement of technology faces as laws and it collide.
It examines object oriented printing which in the eyes of the writer will destroy every copyright law known to man and through it into chaos. As time goes by and 3D printing advances the challenges of protecting trademarked data becomes more complicated the arguments make sense and they are not east to answer or solve. How will technology resolve this issue? Does society have the foresight to see it coming? Read the book and see if you can find the answer to these and many more questions.
