I need to do this quick, so it can be added to the legislation asap - every single printer in WA state has to talk to my cloud service to censor designs to be printed. Only $24.99 annual subscription per 3d printer, plus $1 per print folks, unless AI flags the design, then you can request a $199 review by a human if you still want to print that. If you disagree with that review, you can request a full arbitration review, for $10K retainer plus $500 per hour for all the engineers testifying and lawyers - no money back of course, but if you win you can print it.
PS> I need to raise seed money to lobby WA politicians to legislate that only companies with special license can do such reviews, and to make sure only my company ever gets this license. WA politicians are good this way, so see how many companies are licensed to sell or rent their card shufflers in WA state. I think I'm going to need about $10,100,000 to start, $10M is for lobbying, $100K to setup the service. I'm sure there are annual political donations that have to be made to keep the law in place and any competitors from getting licensed to censor 3d printing in WA, but I expect to be able to make those from the revenue off the 3d printers.
