Hmm this seems untrue. I just did "not" try it and it did "not" work

Aha, this must be the reason I was not able to make a copy of a starmap containing the orion system

I wonder what would happen if you put a little tiny sticker over one of the stars? Just saying

#1 now just wait for the knock on the door hehe

Most new printers are wifi enabled and get ip settings via dhcp by default (=they get internet access). It's not very hard to imagine a built-in automatic notification function to some central server when someone tries to scan or print money.

Another example of a stupid set of regulations that force manufacturers to implement stupid mechanisms in their tools.

It's just as stupid as if they were trying to implement a ban on 3D printed hand guns in the US. Sure, you could try to make 3D printers that recognise when somebody tries to print (parts of) a gun, but nobody is really interested in doing that when there are so many better options available.

There's some pretty good counterfeit currency around these days, especially 50 euro notes, and they don't come out of a Xerox machine. Not even my dear old mother would be fooled by laser printed money.

Just tried to photocopy a 10 euro bank note with a machine very similar to the one on the video and it worked fine. Of course, all the protection make the copy obviously fake, but the bank note was not cut in half. Disapointed

fake....

#6 Probably the paper you were using was worth more than 10 Euro's.
