The discussion is about how we feel about the state enforcing copyright on fruits. Do we need this as a society? You make it sound like the profit incentive is necessary for farmers developing more resilient, tastier etc. fruit. Historically, the direct profit was enough. We have a choice.

This use of copyright can hinder innovation (it limits knowledge sharing) and has weird inefficiencies like the one in the article. That's worth debating.
