Defense Distributed Vs. The US State Department - Lawsuit Filed

[ServiceXp]

I don't necessarily prescribe to Cody's world views, but I do believe he is absolutely right on this one.

Nonprofit digital rights advocacy group the EFF recently filed an amicus brief with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on behalf of Cody Wilson and Defense Distributed. The EFF is backing him based on what they believe to be the State Department violating his first amendment rights to distribute non-physical objects like his 3D printable files for the Liberator handgun. According to the EFF, because the State Department offered Wilson no avenue to dispute their request that he obtain a license to distribute files, they were overstepping their powers and violating his freedom of speech.
