formal disclosure

This department is fake. The resentment is real.

Local Copy Department is not a real government office, storage vendor, anti-cloud regulator, DRM attorney, media preservation nonprofit, Sony division, or game preservation authority. It is a Real Fake Ad by fattamano.

The planned objects are real useful 3D printed tools: USB holders, media racks, archive trays, and other small physical infrastructure for people who like owning what they bought.
