It was called to my attention that prints of one of my models is up for sale on ebay:
www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Printed-Game-of-Thrones-Aria-The-Dragon-Model/261964153371?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3D5662760c9b33417eb49ee082adf97e0a%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26mehot%3Dlo%26sd%3D231844826966
I sent a polite note to the seller saying that the model has a commercial license and that in addition he is using one of my images and could he please take it down.
The seller refused and sent me this response:
Sir,
When you uploaded your items onto Thingiverse for mass distribution, you lost all rights to them whatsoever. They entered what is known in the legal world as "public domain".
The single exception to public domain rules are "original works of art".
No court in the USA has yet ruled a CAD model an original work or art.
Therefore, you have no right to exclude others from utilizing the CAD models you have uploaded.
Furthermore, if in the future we do get a precedent in the USA for establishing CAD models as "original works of art", we would still likely be just fine as we are not re-selling your CAD models, but rather "transformative" adaptions of them in the form of 3D printed objects.
SFE
P.S. When you created these CAD files, did you really want to limit the amount of people who could enjoy them to the 0.01% of the USA with a 3D Printer? 100% of America can purchase the items from us at a reasonable cost and enjoy them-creating made in the USA jobs in the process as well. Furthermore, if you hate the idea of people profiteering from your work, you may want to take it up with Makerbot/Stratasys who only hosts Thingiverse for AD revenue, to sell more 3D printers.
I'm going to take this up with eBay. I'll let you know how I get on
as you can see these idiots have no morals or give a shit what they are doing is illegal and tried some BS legalese, there are over 2,000 items in there store www.ebay.com/…/3D-Printed-Game-Thrones-…/261964153371
We need to spread this and get them to realize they are wrong.
here is their website..... www.just3dprint.com/
hopefully they will learn what cc non commercial license means.
share this also on all 3d print boards
