Oh the irony of that statement … dont do to others that you dont want done to you 
By the way: I found a second post asking people to spam report: Date: July 20, 2026 - quote:
So, after contacting Bambu Lab, I created a support ticket, and they got back to me. They didn’t even address the original thing, and the response seemed very scripted. Anyway, I’ve updated the ticket with the response, so we’ll wait to see.
I’m just wondering, if I made the models public again, the ones which I’ve made private, would you guys be willing to go over to Maker World and spam report the particular profiles?
If you would, let me know down there in the comments. I’ll make another video highlighting the profiles to go over and spam report, if that’s my only course of action, and that’s what it takes to attempt to get them removed, then that’s what I’ll do.
And, as always, if you want to download PokéPrince models, head on over to Bamboo Lab Maker World, search PokéPrince, drop me a follow if you don’t already, if you support me, boosts are very much welcome, drop a boost on your favorite model, and have A beautiful day!
You’re starting to sound like Bambu Labs themselves.
You can’t legally stop people for making add-ons for your product if they didn’t use your product to do it, regardless of the license. People are allowed to innovate, they’re just not allowed to steal your stuff.
Bambu Labs going after someone for making print-by-Wi-Fi for their printers resulted in a lawsuit that Bambu Labs will certainly lose because they tried to throw around their weight and block that development. There’s no difference between that and what’s happening here.
You are indeed throwing a tantrum because you can’t control everything, but unfortunately you don’t have any legal right to do so. You’re removing someone’s profiles unlawfully, and you’re actually also a problem.
If this user is actually harassing you then you can deal with that by community standards, but I suspect that this either is embellished or isn’t one-sided like the OP makes it sounds. On the other hand you’re destroying their work… maybe you’re the bad guy?
Furthermore, your profile is full of stolen IP that you own NO part of. You can’t legally claim ownership of those, sell them, or make any other claim of control around them. You can’t defend illegitimate product, and your products are largely illegitimate.
You can’t control this. You don’t own this. You don’t have any right to block innovation. You steal other people’s IP for your models. You are the problem.
Free models aren’t the problem at all. I’d say it’s still marginally better than a paid model that also infringes on copyrights.
I’d respect someone putting a Pokemon model as public domain more than putting it as a paid model because at least the public domain poster understands that they can’t charge for someone else’s IP.
Whether it’s membership, solo sales, or bundle sales this practice is even scummier. People selling things covered under another’s IP should be the first to have their models taken down. They are the ones bringing the “wrong kind of attention” to the industry, so it’s going to become a necessity as our industry comes under further attacks from corporate interest groups.
I see what you’re saying that someone giving away something for free is less harm than if that something kept a real product from being sold?
But is it really? Give someone a Pokemon whatever and maybe they don’t feel the need to buy some legitimate/licensed Pokemon whatever even if it’s a different whatever.
That’s not even the point, though. The person/entity who creates something owns the rights to it. They have the legal right to decide what their creation is used for and how. That’s it.
Everything else is moot. Someone may infringe in various ways but the law gives recourse. How that plays out is anyone’s guess but it’s the person/entity’s right to ask profiles to be removed. On a popular print - which is where lots of this happens - there could be significant money involved that gets really significant if damages get involved.
You won’t convince me it’s ok to redistribute other’s work because you don’t charge for it. Here with points and boosts you’re still charging and taking those points away from those who create the things that others give away for free.
Both are really equally bad because both cause the same harm to the person/entity whose IP is being used without permission.
No argument with most of that, but I still think someone is a bigger POS for trying to charge people money for it. I don’t make IP related models, so I agree that both are crap. They’re equally invalid in a legal and legitimacy sense, they’re both the same that way like you say.
In my opinion though, morally I think the person trying to charge for it is bigger scum. Yes, scum.
It’s like the difference between a broken promise and an outright scam that takes your money, or how some infinities are bigger than others. It’s all ■■■■■, I just think one pile smells worse.
Reminds me of a line from one of my favorite movies, “you have kidnapped from me what I have rightfully stolen.” You come on here complaining and want advice on how to keep other’s from stealing your IP, which is stolen IP? It is a separate issue but you’re the one who asked how to protect your thievery. Sorry man, I’m an IP Attorney, you ain’t in the right here.
Claiming someone is editing the models and finding out they just edited the layout and slicer settings is pretty petty.
I’m sorry, let me clear this up. Although SFDL doesn’t allow for derivative works of the model, a print profile is a user modifying your original print, and putting it under YOUR MODEL, where you still OWN the model and profiles they publish. They are CONTRIBUTING to it, to make it print better, to make it faster, stronger, etc. Unless they publish a REMIX of your model, this is not violating the license, its just improving on your original.
I don’t think the original author will post anything else here. He has read most of the posts and hasn’t logged in for the last five days. In his situation, not writing anything is probably the best thing he can do.
In fact, he posted another video today, calling on his community to download and promote his models. Which is actually totally fine. What I found a bit odd was the call for people to download the models en masse without mentioning printing them, which still leaves a bad taste.
The story about commercial use is just being repeated all over again.
On the other hand, MakerWorld doesn’t care either. There’s no reason for him to change his concept or stop classifying other print profiles as potentially dangerous. Every profile still states that other profiles damage the printer, including the one reported by one user.
In short: MakerWorld no longer has any intention of keeping its platform running smoothly.
Strictly speaking, it’s actually MakerWorld that’s causing this mess - and I’m not even talking about this subject of - I’m talking about the entire situation. Nothing new here - just another case among many.
