Paramount sends copyright notice to Shapeways user over 3D printable Super 8 cube

By at 11:51 am Monday, Jun 27

Tblatt sez, "Paramount Pictures's lawyers send a cease and desist email to a designer for a CAD design listed on Shapeways. It was a box that was a replica of the cube from their movie Super 8. The letter claimed copyright infringement and demanded that the file be taken down from the site. I don't want to fight in court so I've taken down the file from Shapeways to comply with their demands, but it's certainly an interesting topic."

Cease and Desist (Thanks, Tblatt!)
