Defense Distributed and DefCad Seized

Not sure if this is real? Or just an april fools joke? Not much on the net about it (yet), twitter seems pretty quiet as well.<p>So I'm still not sure.<p><a href="http://www.defcad.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.defcad.com/</a> is still accessible - though it strikes me this was the least visible of the sites and maybe registered to another entity.

I'm very curious about the items listed at the bottom of the page - 18 USC 506 deals with forgeries of badges and seals and stuff of government departments.<p>Are they alleging the site was used to make fake badges?

Looks like the domain is fine. If this was intended as a joke, it lacked any humor whatsoever.
