No, they wouldn't. Perhaps a dozen. That myth is quoted by the current
entertainment monopolists, to try to deprive the public of rights.

Note that I am not opposing PBRs in principle or most practice though,
as I said, I have seen them abused.


To the best of my knowledge, every single plant sold of Nemesia 'Bluebird'
brings Ray a payment, so every single one of those hypothetical Fuchsias
would be doing the same, I should think. Naturally, some part of that goes
to others involved in the process but each plant is worth something to its
breeder.
