The Feds do realise Defense Distributed removing the plans from their site does not mean they'll disappear completely from the Internet, right? This touches upon a new area of legality because the plans are just computer drawings and really no more different than that of a 3D game designer working on the latest Call of Duty or Battlefield franchise (both of which model their guns off of real guns). It'll be interesting to see how this plays out as 3D printing and the ability to print weapons and illegal objects becomes more and more common as the cost of 3D printing drops.
