Hi Guys,
This issue has been brewing for a while so I'd like to put together a Copyright 101 guide (as per my blog post
https://www.shapeways.com/blog/archives/1872-Copyright-101-Wh at-do-you-want-to-know.html)
As the field of 3D printing grows, we're starting to see more and more cases of copyright infringement, creative sharing, collaboration, and general discussion happening around what is "allowed", what is possible, and what is protected.
To address this, we want to put together a 3D Printing Copyrights 101 guide in the next few weeks, with the help of Michael Weinberg who wrote the awesome whitepaper "It will be awesome if they don't screw it up"
We've done a few blog posts covering the debate over the last two years, and now we want to consolidate new information and answer your questions.
The list so far includes:
101 to copyrights law: the difference between copyright, patents, trademarks and creative commons
What's the DMCA?
Common cases in 3D printing
Creative innovation
What else do you want to know?
List your questions here and we'll incorporate them into the guide!
This is the official Shapeways stance on content and copyrights:

Ideally the Copyright 101 guide would go into more details
PLease tell me what you want to know and I'll make sure it gets covered!
Thank you,
Natalia
