You are wrong. Cows are being fed corn instead of grass.

What is common between soya beans and software?

Genetically modified soya beans could be licenced by large corporartions, just like software, and farmers could be prosecuted for keeping “unlicensed” seeds from their own crops. These seeds could also spread to other soya fields where ordinary soya beans are growing and mixing with them, causing major legal issues for farmers trying to sell their own seeds, since corporations like Monsanto accuse them of reselling their intellectual property.
