Defense Distributed Site DEFCAD down, shows message claiming request from US Department of Defense Trade Controls


The DEFCAD site shows the following:

DEFCAD files are being removed from public access at the request of the US Department of Defense Trade Controls.


Until further notice, the United States government claims control of the information.

We do not know if this is real or not. There was a similar spoof done on April 1st.

Link to April 1st spoof story "Breaking: Defense Distributed website seized, Cody Wilson arrested on conspiracy charges!"

We will learn more in the next few hours. This may be real.

Too late...Liberator 3D printing software readily available elsewhere. Was downloaded over 100,000 times before the feds ordered DEFCAD to remove them from their site.
