It is in the tradition of Terminator seeds developed by very high end 
bio-tech researchers. These are `anti-piracy` seeds which give only 
one yield and then do not reproduce. The bad habits of farmers to 
share seeds and of others to share info needs to be contained. When 
threats do not work technological solutions are there.  Anyway IT and 
BT are close cousins.

A host of new terms like audiocide, seedocide can now be coined!
