" she just doesn't get it. Good luck.
Now I like blowing up 3d printers as I've had my share of broken buildable units in the past. Also, I'm fully in favor of copyright enforcement. I have no problem with people doing what they want with their property. But that doesn't mean I think the people who use a 3D printer should be allowed to make any and all use of said printer legal. And if I want to put out some DIY hacks, or "self build" my next 3D printer, I'm going to have to pay more attention to copyright laws. Sure, I could use Gimp, Inkscape and Blender to make my own 3D files, but I'd still be breaking copyright.

That is what that blog is about. The views presented are by no means a generalization of the movement. They are simply the views of the people who represent it.
Indeed, but I still think that's like someone telling me I can't talk about how they view the bible. What about my view is being censored?
FTA:
The movement says it seeks to promote "free culture" -- a phrase that can mean a lot of things. It's not uncommon for critics of copyleft to dismiss it as a mere "spin" or "self-serving" term, according to the OSS movement. A more extreme form of this idea is "copyleft," a movement started in the early 2000s that calls for copyright, patent and trademark holders to forfeit all their rights and give them to everyone at no charge.
So if the copyleft movement doesn't understand the meaning of "free culture" it should be considered as spin and self serving? How silly.
Copyright is supposed to promote the creation of knowledge and culture, says the movement, but copyright law has created a culture of piracy in the digital realm that threatens to limit the public's access to the work of art and scientific knowledge.
