Re: [DIYbio] Re: Uptake of food transgenes by guy bacteria

Dow/Pont haven't made such a dedicated effort to be hated, though. Suing
individuals for patent infringement is nearly unheard of outside of GM
crops; patents are used in most fields for killing competition and
destroying *inventors*, not end-users.

Monsanto's use and precedent for patents as weapons against potential
customers (those who didn't pay this year, but probably would in the
future) is bizarre, and has earned it the reputation it deserves. Sadly,
it's also earned "GMOs" (a pejorative, I'll remind ye all) an undeserved
bad reputation, because the prodigious litigiousness of Monsanto has
nothing to do with the technology used to develop its crops.
