As far as i know, those are the main types of self-
replicating software. Now where again was that patent-
application form? Must have my patent filed first before my
big-bucks innovation goes to waste.

- Patent virus
- Write virus (note order of operations..).
- Inject virus into the www.
- Sue those infected for copyright infringement and patent
violation.
- $$$$$ !!!!

Silly, i know... But: is not that the same as what Monsanto
is attempting to do? Sue anyone who even accidentally gets
his/her field infected with modified soy beans....

As another analogy of the computer situation: Should not a
farmer be able to sue Monsanto for infecting his/her field
with tainted soy beans?

Farmer’s Supreme Court Challenge Puts Monsanto Patents at Risk
Authored by: PJ on Saturday, February 16 2013 @ 02:38 PM EST
I wish someone would volunteer to attend in
Washington DC, but so far, we don't have anyone
for this week's oral argument.

But the Supreme Court does release oral argument
really quickly, and I'll definitely post that
as soon as we have it.

Farmer’s Supreme Court Challenge Puts Monsanto Patents at Risk
Authored by: tknarr on Sunday, February 17 2013 @ 12:34 PM EST

He may lose this one on the basis of his agreement with Monsanto. Rather than go to the question of patent exhaustion, the court may rule that his agreement applies to those seeds regardless of source, and that by using seeds from the elevator that he knew came from Monsanto he violated that agreement. This would be a different outcome than if a farmer who didn't have any agreement with Monsanto bought those same seeds.
