After being enjoined from distrubiting 3D CAD Files of firearms to his website, DEFCAD.com, Cody Wilson announces [texastribune.org] plans to sell the files for any choosen price.

In other words: If he can’t be the “Napster” of crypto-guns, he’ll be the “iTunes,” Wilson told reporters at a press conference Tuesday in Austin.

Josh Blackman, Wilson’s lawyer, said in an interview Tuesday that selling the blueprints directly to people within the United States is perfectly legal.
