It seems that not even Kim Dotcom, the world’s most famous intellectual property pirate, wants to host the blueprints for the Liberator.
Internet mogul Kim Dotcom says designs for a 3D-printed gun are scary and he’s deleted public links to its blueprints from his new file-sharing website.
The US Government is investigating whether the gun design breached arms-control laws relating to shipping weapons overseas by making the plans publicly available online.
The plans were available on Dotcom’s Mega website, but the New Zealand-based entrepreneur asked his staff to delete the public files.
Dotcom says he thinks they are a serious threat to security of the community.
Techcrunch notes:
Now that even he’s abandoned 3D weapons, perhaps there is some information that the Internet and government can collaboratively reject.
