This bill is not about stopping distribution of the files, but preventing the printers from printing them even when you have the files.

Which is of course impossible, so what this bill is really about is stopping people from owning 3D printers.

it is more likelya showcase of technical incompetence in lawmakers, who genuinely believe it is technically possible to impose these limitations.
