Copyright laws have ruined so much shit. Does anyone else know about certain people and companies copyrighting (trademarking?) specific colours to prevent others from using them? There’s vanta black, Tiffany blue, I think Barbie pink as well, and let’s not forget about literal fruit such as the pink pineapple being illegal to grow yourself. Now potatoes? This has gotten out of hand, it’s been out of hand.

So absurd lol, also why would they sue the farmers? its not like they produce their own seed, they got it from a seed provider.
