Taking the seeds of certain produce and growing them in your backyard for your own consumption
This is not illegal in the EU. There are no patents on plants in the EU.

produce usually means fruits and vegetables
And trees usually means trees. Who knows with these guys

Hmm fair enough
How is that illegal? So you’re telling me in your country you can’t buy a tomato from a store and then throw it in some soil at home?
The US has patented GMO wheat and corn. Agrotech companies have sued farmers for growing wheat from seeds that blew into their fields from a neighbouring property.
That is wild!
No, it’s engineered.
Corporations have patents on their varieties. This isn’t defending the practice, just explaining it
To expand on that, they likely aren’t going to come after a private household. It’s to keep farmers in their pocket. They will go after a commercial farm though. It borders on a subscription service to seeds. Fucking dystopia.
Certain produce
It’s not based on country either. If lays catches you growing their patented strains of potatoes without their consent, they’ll come after you no matter what country you are growing the potatoes in.
Will Lays corpos kidnap me from my country to drag me in front of a US court?
I mean, at this point, it wouldn’t surprise me. Just thought Disney would do it first.Maybe not Lay’s but Monsanto will and has a history of winning in court.
Depends on the country tho
Torrenting 84TB of books for a megacorp.
Ripping a DVD I own to my hard drive for my personal use.
That absolutely depends on local laws.
Here in Sweden that is absolutely 100% legal, it is called privatkopiering, private copying, we even pay a fee on storage media and phones to compensate for the potential loss of revenue that an artist may suffer from us doing it.
You may even share the copy within your family, but no further.
In the US, because of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, it is illegal to defeat any sort of digital copy protection. That’s why it’s ok to rip CDs to your iPod, but you can’t rip DVDs to your computer.
Weed
Legal in some places
Yeah. Some places.
Like, entire countries.
Being a US citizen permanently living in a foreign country, paying taxes to that country and not paying US taxes.
Don’t you have to make >6 figures to have to pay the US anything in taxes, if you’re earning the money overseas?
FEIE is like $125k usd
You have to be in the US less than 30 days a year do get that deduction.
Gay Marriage. I know I’m wrong, but not for long.
i hope you stay wrong. Nothing against you, but you are the absol that has brought the bad news
Visiting a country of your choosing.
