IDK if this can be seen outside the UK.

I'm writing a load of fiction. My latest story starts here... This is the index of all the stories...

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

Unlike the BBC programming my wife enjoys, this is not region restricted.

If anything, I'd honestly propose that the internet is rapidly showing current copyright models to be untenable.

Piracy as a destroyer of copyright based industries is greatly exaggerated. For example, the music and film industries are making more money than ever. There is no decline in sales of books, despite photocopying, digital books and second hand books.

I don't think everyone will have a 3D printer at home. People just don't need to 3D print things often enough to justify the cost and space allocation. It will be better to take your files to a print shop and get them done professionally.
