Your DNA is hardly private. You leave it everywhere you go. If someone wanted it they'd only have to follow you around for a short while.

- digi_owl 8y agoAnd that kind of following around was what certain secret police forces did back in the day. And it was inefficient unless they already had a reason to spend manhours on you. Now however the computer will do it, virtually for free, and then the hoard of data can be dug through for incriminating (or socially awkward) information.
- LinuxBender 8y agoI hold a copyright on my DNA.
- notyourwork 8y agoWhich means what in context of this conversation?
- tomcam 8y agoThat LinuxBender has a sense of humor
- moftz 8y agoNo you don't, you are not the creator of it therefore have no claim to copyright. It is not an original work of authorship. You can have a patent on DNA but not on naturally occurring DNA according to the supreme court.
- LinuxBender 8y agoOverruled. I will charge 42M per minute to unauthorized copies of my DNA. My shadow ninjas will sneak into their vaults and take back every single strand of my DNA.
- vasili111 8y ago>you are not the creator of it therefore have no claim to copyright. So his/her parents hold the copyright?
- nkrisc 8y agoIf anybody does (which they don't) it would probably be your biological parents, jointly.
