This is not the same as sailing the seven seas on a long voyage to obtain movies ot games, instead one is "duplicating" medicine that you purchase from a pharmacy (due to them being expensive and requiring a prescription, unless you "pirated" that too), so they decide to "pirate" medicine and ointments, but unlike movies or games those require human consumption, so 3D printing them does not do it, as in the "pirated medicine" needs to actually work, cont...

Compounding pharmacies could presumably make it for you if you give them the formula.
