3D Printed Left Shark from Katy Perry's Halftime performance

Oh are you Sosa then? They just hating on you because they didnt think of it first. Haters gonna hate. But now you got to use the steam to power your dreams.

I would never think of stealing someones idea and then selling it for profit.It gives 3D printing a bad name and is immoral. But since this generation is all about getting something for free, then I guess its alright until you get something stolen from you.

I see what you're point is about intellectual property. But with 3D printing at the moment everyone is cloning everything from left sharks to left testicles.

If he would have made it free it probably wouldnt have been an issue but that just goes to show you how greedy these fat cat music moguls are.

What about all those left shark mugs and keyrings on eBay?

If its for your personal use, then go ahead and do it. Once you add a price to it, it is thievery. Its a very simple concept.

So by that logic, I would not be aloud to sell my Lion model, because Katy perry featured a Lion in her performance, hindering anybody from doing anything with Lion model's (or shark) ever again for profit?

It was said before,that she doesn't own the copyright on “every” shark, lion known to mankind, but the ones in that particular show.

Its about distinctiveness, the moment she showed it to the public she gained an automatic copyright, since the “Copyright Act of 1976”.

These laws are very reasonable, imagine you share some images or 3D models for free. You put a lot of effort into creating them, and other people just take them to make a profit and even have the audacity not to ask for permission.

If it looks like her Lion or Shark from the show, then you won;t be able to sell it. Do you print out Pepsi signs and sell them?
