Plant Variety "Protection"

Here is what's appalling about plant variety protection- it's PROTECTION! A term which lays down pretty clearly that the new plant varieties must be PROTECTED- and protected from what, pray? ... Why! none other than our farmers who actually cultivate and get food for the entire world!

Do you see a problem here? I'd think!

The tragedy of commons is an explicit assumption here. Protect our seeds from the farmers who will overuse them! Do!
