Royalties ? How "Monsanto" of him.Yeah, his son. Several years ago he popped up on this site trying to get things going, but he was a pretty entitled guy with an attitude. He is also one of the breeders who thinks he should be collecting royalties on every strain sold since DJ Short genetics have been used so much in so many different strains.
Not bashing anybody personally, I don't know father or son.With the appropriate copyright, trademarks, trade secret or patent how does your theory hold up @Rob Roy ?
I think it speaks greater about the exploiting nature of the canna industry and humans in general. Dj had a thread specifically about this when he gave away his parent stock years ago... so it's a bit ironic the shit flinging coming back about this.
Are you really going to bash a guy for wanting to express his feelings on what has perceptually became a cash grab with genetics the guy's father birthed?
Aided in what way? I didn't disagree with you that it is a construct, I disagree with this >> You can't own an idea in reality though, since it is something that can be possessed (held) by many different people at the same time, which provides the evidence that it isn't "property".My theory that "intellectual property" is a legal construct seems to be aided, rather than refuted by the first line in your post. You are referring to legal constructs there right?

How many cases have you successfully defended against infringement on this theory?
In short I do agree with the plants genetics ownership nonsense, however at the same time I can appreciate where someone might be upset over it.
But this is not the same as saying that an entity/person cannot own IP.. that's silly.
Makes me wanna go fishing .....but only after I crop out ...NEED THAT FIST FULL OF JOINTSI have an idea. My idea is to grab a cold beer, a fistful of joints and go relax down by the fishing hole.
You say, "hey great idea, can I come", now you also hold the same idea. I "created" the idea, but because it's not tangible, you can now hold the idea too. You haven't dispossessed me in any way by holding the same idea now. You don't and shouldn't owe me anything for my idea.
I say "sure you can come along, I'll grab my lighter" and look nervously around for any royalty seeking cavemen who claim to have invented fire, before slipping the lighter into my pocket.
Hopefully the fish will be biting and you do not seek royalties from me, when I follow your innovative idea to swat the clouds of mosquitoes rather than let them suck the blood from my arm.
Anyway, after the first joint we both realize we could use another one, and as I light the second one up, You, being both curious and polite ask me, "hey what was that we just smoked...it was kinda mild".
I reply, it was some blueberry and take a satisfying gulp of beer to wash the taste away.
Cases I've defended? Damn it man, I'm a freakin' bigfoot, they won't let me in a courtroom!
I have an idea, I create a process and patent it. I know you're working on the same idea, but guess what?
You get to wait 17 years before you can implement. Or you can try your luck and hope I don't find out or can't afford to drag you into court.
It's pretty obvious at this point your intent is to fling crap towards Dj and JD.
Considering you've no wins in court maybe refrain from opining
Have fun in your illogical circle jerk with ya blueberry mids.
Now you making me wanna jerk off with my patented move ...Circle jerk? Mids!!??? Poppycock, my good man.
Just imagine if the first guy that invented opposable thumb jerk off techniques had patented it how much money you'd owe him for copyrite royalties. Can't even begin to think how the royaty charges would mount up in an illicit circle jerk.
Now you making me wanna jerk off with my patented move ...
I thought I smelled something bad ...Could have been the dogs fart or U .It's the pheromes in my fur, they bring out the beast in everyone.
Well, truth is, It could be me AND the dog.Just having fun folks dont get offended
Patent would be long expired which brings us back to understanding that while IP may be a construct it can prove financially painful to learn that your theory falls on its face if the 'owner' protected themselves appropriately. I might not agree with it but if people can patent/copyright their work and have the means to take it to court and win well saying it isn't the case won't be a valid defense.Circle jerk? Mids!!??? Poppycock, my good man.
