The seedbanks that sell the breeders seeds are no different than any retail shop. 100%+ markup is common for Macy's or Nordstrom's. Why would seeds be any different. And there are seedbanks in usa.

Once you have purchased those genetics from DJ short, it should be your right to do whatever you want with them,

Like I can buy me a Britney Spears CD. But that doesnt give me the right to make you and everyone else a copy. No matter how much I know you love her.
Or before a football game. Where it says "This may not be used without the expressed written consent of the National Football League"
I dont know. Seems like a fine line. Cause in return to that, I can also grow all the corn I want. And give you all the corn seeds I want without having to worry about infringing anything.
Edit in: Oh and I forgot to add. Taylor Made rules!
umbra said:When it comes to breeders and seeds, the consensus seems to be that making F2 seeds are frowned on, because people might think the original breeder did it and the pheno expression would lead to a large variation. However, most breeders have little problems with taking various seeds and making F1 hybrids from them.
