Yeah, I was not pleased with that decision, let me tell you... it's really quite ridiculous.

Wow, that's insane!! Lifeforms are lifeforms; there is no higher or lower . . . well, you know what I mean. Patenting and copyrighting is getting out of hand. I still cannot believe that the WWF was forced to give up its name. How the hell can you own an acronym!!!?

How can you patent a gene? That's just ridiculous.

well, patenting a modified gene sequence is one thing (which I stuggle with anyway), but saying you are at fault because my modified plant crept over to your soil is over the top. Maybe my perspective is off, and I am simply lacking a monopoly to fully enjoy, as the court put it.

| motherfukers. that's fuckin capitalism for you. not even communism in its deepest filthiness could ever tell u what plant u cant grow. Its because of corporate business like this that Islam riuning the world as we know it might not be such a bad idea. At least post-apocalypse we'd be rid of people shouting freedom while strangling your liberty. |

Islam? But what about when Mohammed claimed a trademark on donkeys?
Oh, wait. That never happened.

| But if you draw a camel with pretty crayons and then put it in a frame and hang it on a wall would that break their monopoly? Right, were's me paper? |
