@calestous Personally, concerns around patents and DRM are what worry me most about GMO.
@ctford This tends to develop over time with use of new technologies.

@calestous True, but I also think that we are at a point in history where intellectual property rights are particularly aggressive. -
@ctford Yes, because there are open ways of doing the same patented things. Question: why are they not used often? Capacity limits. -
@calestous Also, patents often are used to stake a claim in an area to prevent others getting there, at least in my field (software). -
@calestous I'm encouraged by the recent US ruling against patenting genes. -
@ctford The gene patent decision was a wise one. But that is only one sector.
