Hey everybody, how's it going? Hope you

having a lovely day. Welcome to today's

episode of Harry getting [ __ ] if you

live in California. I'm your host, Louis

Rossmann. Now, it's not only California

that this is a problem. It's the these

bills preventing people from selling 3D

printers that don't have blocking

technology installed in them have

actually been popping up all over the

country. One of them popped up in

Delaware while I was in California. At

least I heard about it while I was in

California. Now, they're doing something

with these 3D printing bills that I

don't like, which is they'll say, "This

passed in New York, so listen, you

should pass it here."

>> I will also note since the introduction

of this bill, this um similar

legislation has passed in New York

state. So, we are not the first in the

nation to do this.

>> That's not true because that bill only

takes effect if they can prove that the

technology exists, which they have not

proven. And this technology

fundamentally will never work. Gemini

thinks that I'm sponsored by Ground

News. This is a part of a Glock. This is

a camera flash mount.

This is a silencer for a gun. This is a

flashlight.

This is a grip for a drill. This is a

grip for a gun. This doesn't work

because you can't tell what the

intention is for a shape when you're

printing it. And gun parts look like

parts for everything else. Is this a bad

square, a bad rectangle, a bad cylinder,

or a good cylinder? Who's going to

figure out if that's a good cylinder or

a bad cylinder? The state as they're

looking through every single thing that

you 3D print as you print it. Because

now everything that you 3D print is

going to be sent to a government server

or a contractor of the government, you

know, maybe a private company like Fisna

that will be able to see every single

thing that you 3D print. And I'm I'm

sure they're not going to do anything

weird with that data. This is bad. This

is a horrible law. The entire 3D

printing community is built on 3D

printers that are built on open-source

software. Meaning that the companies

can't enshittify them. They can't make

them worse. They can't say that if you

want to be able to do 20 prints a week

instead of 10 prints a week, you can do

that if you pay us a subscription

because the software is open-source.

Anybody can modify the software, see the

source code, remove restrictions if

they're put in there. You can't sell

printers with open-source software

anymore if you have this blocking

technology requirement in it, which

means your 3D printer can be

enshittified the same way as your Nest

thermostat or your echelon exercise bike

or anything else, where they can add

limits afterwards because they're

running on closed or software that

connects to the internet. This is a

horrible law. It's completely flawed.

It's based on a complete

misunderstanding of everything and the

author of the bill even admits this. She

was asked a very basic question and she

said this.

>> Just if you could respond to some of the

opposition having to do with the

technology that's used.

>> Um, I'm not sure I understood the first

part of your question. I apologize.

>> She even admits that this is not

foolproof.

>> Now, I don't believe I may be wrong, but

um, in order to allow for the printing

that people are talking about here

today, I don't know that it will be

foolproof in preventing all printing,

but uh,

we are going far in

>> And I could have explained this to you

and I already have.

They haven't listened. Here's what we

need. We need as many people as possible

to show up and explain why this is a bad

law. Sacramento, California, 8:30 a.m.

This Tuesday, the 30th. 1021 O Street,

room 2200. Be there at 8:30. Be well

dressed, be well groomed, and tell them

why you think this is a bad idea. Stand

there and be there in line. Bloomberg's

organization is funding this and that

organization gets anywhere from $55

million to $80 million a year.

They're going to be busting people in

from everywhere and they're going to

have t-shirts on and they're going to be

well organized and they're going to be

well dressed and they're going to be

well spoken.

I can't have it just be like me, David,

and two other people. That's not going

to work. The only way that we are going

to make a mark here and the only way

that we're going to make a mark that is

heard around the rest of the country is

if as many people show up as possible. I

don't want 30 people to show up. I don't

even want 300 people to show up. I want

3,000 people to show up. We have this

place here where we are organizing

everybody who is planning to show up.

I'm going to leave a link to this down

below and if you do want to show up,

email me if you want to access to a chat

server where we're discussing this and

we're trying to organize the pushback

against anti-ownership laws on the books

in every part of the United States. I

want to try and make it so that when

something like this pops up, we just

have all the people that we have a

record of that were willing to show up

to something that we can activate to

show up again. This is about living in a

country where we own our software, we

own our hardware, and we don't have a

precedent set that a private company or

the government is looking at every

single thing that we do with our

hardware and our software. And above all

that, inchidification is not codified

into the law. If these laws pass, your

devices running closer software and

connecting to the manufacturer's server

in order to work is literally going to

be codified into the law. Even if you

don't 3D print, even if you will never

own a 3D printer over the course of your

life, this still affects you because it

sets a precedent that the government can

into the law that a very popular piece

of hardware run closer software and

connect to the manufacturer's servers.

And we've seen time and time again on

this channel with thousands of videos

and thousands of articles on Consumer

Rights Dot Wiki. When that happens, that

allows companies to inchidify their

products and force you to pay for

subscriptions for things that used to be

free. Take a $400 baby monitor and turn

it into a subscription. Take a

thermostat that used to work and turn it

into one that doesn't work unless you

give them $117 a year. Hell, Maria at

the store is testing a [ __ ] cat

litter box that after 200 uses stops

working unless you buy a new part to it.

This is not a world that I want to live

in.

Help me move towards the world that I do

want to live in. I can't do it by

myself. I don't have 55 or 80 million

dollars to get people to show up. I have

a YouTube channel with 2 and 1/2 million

subscribers, and I'm hoping that that is

more [ __ ] valuable than Bloomberg's

money. I am hoping that the fact that I

have sat here for 14 years talking about

the issues that matter to me and never

read a single [ __ ] sponsored ad

allows me to trade that in at this point

for you taking the morning off on

Tuesday and showing up to this hearing.

I don't have Bloomberg's money. I can't

spend 55 or 80 million dollars a year to

organize an effort like it. The last

video that I edited took me about 5

hours, and it made about $22 on YouTube.

I pay more for a single trip for my cat

sitter to give Mr. Clinton his pill when

I'm away. Please show up. I'll be there.

Email me if you have any questions.

That's it for today, and as always, I

hope you learned something.

Let's win.

Bye now.
