Legal notices for 3D printing
<p>Recently I've faced a business plan description, where someone suggested to start business of 3D printing. And one of the use-cases is to print models of movies, comics characters and so on.</p>

<p>And my question is: is it legal to print a model (model is developed by businessman himself) of such characters for sale without permission?</p>
