Lets say in 10 years, 3D printing technology become so advanced, almost anything can be perfectly replicated. So I find some leaked car 3d file, I download it, I print the car. What current laws would I be violating? Civil or criminal? And what future laws can you anticipate?

As long as you didn't republish the files you'd probably be just fine. Anti piracy measures rarely target the downloaders. Also as soon as we have that technology you'd probably be able to find those files for open use, currently there's communities like FOSSCAD that are dedicated to open source software. I see no reason for that to change.
