[Kiberpipa] Monsanto

Kam vodi patentiranje genov?

Friar_MJK writes "Now even traditionally non-tech-savvy farmers are
getting the rap for piracy. This isn't your grandma's p2p filesharing,
but rather replanting bio-engineered seeds. Somehow the powers-that-be
got the idea that replanting seeds grown from your own soil is a crime.
A company called Monsanto sells those specially engineered seeds, and
according to their license agreements, they make it illegal to replant
the seeds harvested from a previous crop. To enforce this, they have
brought many hard-working farmers to court and even thrown some in jail.
According to the story, the company has not lost a case yet." We've had
a couple of stories about Monsanto suing a Canadian farmer, but there
hasn't been a lot of U.S. press devoted to the issue.
