I have seen plants sold in shops with warnings that you can't propagate them. Dunno why because it was so easy to do.

Pirate bay for plants.

You wouldn't download a plant

It's like the start of a movie having a disclaimer about "You wouldn't download a car!!!!"

Pirate the seeds. And seed them for others.

I've seen that, but I always assumed they meant you couldn't take a cutting from a plant in the store without buying the whole plant, which, I feel like that's fair. Trying to prevent people from propagating their own plants after they've paid for them is asinine though.
