How can you order a farmer to destroy their trees? I hope he fights in a higher court. Wish I’d heard about the nectarine giveaway. I’d have gone to pick some.

Whatever my man keep eating those copyrighted fruits just remember then they own what you shit as well
Uh… pretty much the entire agriculture industry works this way… Monsanto forces farmers to sign licenses that they won’t use the seeds produced by their crops to grow more crops.
We should remember to save it and ship it to their HQ.
Do you go to work for free? Must be nice.
People have been cultivating fruit way before copyright…
Obviously that’s true. Then this farmer should have planted that older (less desirable) fruit.
The discussion is about how we feel about the state enforcing copyright on fruits. Do we need this as a society? You make it sound like the profit incentive is necessary for farmers developing more resilient, tastier etc. fruit. Historically, the direct profit was enough. We have a choice.
This use of copyright can hinder innovation (it limits knowledge sharing) and has weird inefficiencies like the one in the article. That’s worth debating.
