Soon followed by Homeland Security raids for making your own GUCCI knockoffs.
You can adjust the business model to accommodate making your own Gucci clothing:
1. Log on to the Gucci website and download the pattern based on the measurements you submit.
2. A file is then wirelessly transmitted to your printer.
3. Your printer then dispenses the materials necessary to make your dress.
4. Snapchat-like, your printer then discards the pattern as per the license agreement.
What is coming are file formats that self-destruct according to the license agreement. Without this, the IP industry is going to be gutted, and there won’t be much new under the sun.
As for the market for printed anything - someone has to manufacture the printers, the cartridges, the recovery systems, the refills, the delivery, etc.
Will there be a market for traditionally made everything (i.e. durable as opposed to disposable)? Sure.
