If there is any country in the world where this would be the law of the
land, it would be the United States. I'm sure there are plenty of
communist countries where the labors of others are taken by the masses
with no compensation. Perhaps you can go there and rip-off the breeders
of new hybrids -- if you can find any.

Somebody posted a link here or edibles with wheelbarrow full of Russian
tomato hybrids probably within a month or two ago.

But then again the new way of life in this country is to rip other
people off. Download illegal MP3's. It's okay. Propagate trademarked
hybrids? Who cares. Rip-off the people who worked hard to produce them.
After all, they're a "corporation", and not real people trying to feed
their families.

As I understand it, musicians sign record contracts and the record company
pays them a set amount. The record company then sells the music at a fixed
price (that is until they got busted) and keeps the profits. So in
essence, people who download illegal mp3s are really ripping off the record
company, whose executives and share holders, let me tell you, worked really
hard to feed their families.
