A more appropriate analogy is that you have a 3d printer, see a shirt at the store you like, print out a copy of that shirt, are fined before you wear the shirt, print out another shirt you don't wear and get fined again. Or, you print out a shirt you saw at the store, decide you hate it and print out a different shirt.

Although perhaps even more appropriately, you have a 3d printer and a replicator that provides you with nearly unlimited amounts of materials for making clothes. You have some clothing catalogs and say, what the heck, why not? So you make copies of every piece of clothing in those catalogs, which is as simple as sticking the catalogs in the 3d printer. Some of the clothes you wear, but most of them are too big, too small, for people of the opposite gender, or just not your style. Fortunately, you have capsules that can shrink the clothes down to a microscopic size so the clothes don't take up too much space, and just as fortunately, the clothes are automatically stored in those capsules so you don't even have to hassle with storing the clothes.
