That was what really bugged me in Speaker for the Dead -- they labeled him as the worst human being to ever live, the "Xenocide". Were people not told of the circumstances? Did they intentionally hide the context? If so, why would they do that? To save the skins of the people who orchestrated the events in the first book? It was left unexplained.

Daemon yes, but Freedom would be impossible to make. Whichever way they try to create the world portrayed in Freedom would look silly on-screen. Then again, peter jackson managed to create an immersive world out the LofR, so maybe I'm wrong...

Speaking of the plot, the part in the trailer when he says "now" is the climax of the book (though arguably the revelation that comes afterwords is the "punch line"). Why the hell did they put the finale of the book in the trailer?

I think the main reason this is important is the ultimate goal of this project: To be able to print an entire gun using a 3D printer.

There are plenty of things that can be made manually instead of using a 3D printer, but you need *some* expertise to do so, even if it's minimal. With a 3D printer, you just need to know how to operate the printer -- and they're becoming easier to use and cheaper every day.

Also, I don't see how taking this particular one down is effective, considering you can see all their other videos here.

I know I'm nitpicking but should "kickstarted" be a verb now? Isn't the mechanism called "crowdfunding"? Shouldn't *that* ("crowdfunded") be the verb?

They're not naive enough to pass up on an additional revenue stream. If there are ads on the youtube page -- *Someone* is getting something. The question is: who?
