Intellectual property rights

Unscrupulous Grabbits all over the planet are busy copyrighting the genomes of staple crops in pursuit of their noble goal of turning our common heritage into a personnal piggy bank. Where they cannot steal existing stuff they are genetically tinkering in order to produce modified, patented, repeat-purchase cash cows.
It seems to us at Throbgoblins International that it is somewhat bonkers to allow a corporation (legally bound to the profit principle at all costs) to control access to basic foodstuffs (remember them?) by having control of their means of reproduction.
