Injunction Filing

May 6, 2021

Last night Defense Distributed filed a motion for a preliminary injunction against the State and Justice Departments.

Our argument is easy for anyone to understand:

1. The First Amendment protects 3D file publication
2. The State Department no longer has regulatory jurisdiction over 3D files and has defended this in the Ninth Circuit
3. The State Department has a settlement agreement with Defense Distributed to permit 3D file publication
4. ITAR enforcement under these circumstances is a severe and malicious inequity

This does not mean we will get the injunction. The Honorable Robert Pitman is a party jurist and I have no faith in his administration of justice.
