Patents â Why They Exist, And Why They Possibly Shouldnât Exist

,----[ Quote ]
| Most software engineers donât agree. Richard 
| Stallman, one of the truly elite software 
| developers has spoken out many times about 
| the dangers of software patents. Curiously 
| those most in favor of software patents 
| appear to be lawyers from the Patent Bar.

Patents â Why They Exist, And Why They Possibly Shouldnât Exist â Part Two

,----[ Quote ]
| One issue is that Americans think that their 
| patent system is the be all and end all, and 
| that everyone else should imitate them. 
| Curiously a lot of Americans even believe 
| that their Constitution requires that a 
| patent system exist, due to a misreading of 
| it.

Monsanto also tried to bring its patented genetic carcinogens to Canada, but didn't
manage to corrupt the officials. 

Corporate takeover videos

,----[ Quote ]
| One of the greatest concerns about genetic 
| engineering is the way in which it 
| facilitates the corporate takeover of the 
| food supply. These videos show how GM crops 
| are removing the ability of farmers to 
| freely use their own seeds or grow food in 
| the way they choose.
