DNA Films
In an initiative that could have come straight out of any number of scripts sitting on US executives desks, the San Francisco-based DNA Copyright Institute is offering celebrities the chance to copyright their DNA as a means to prevent fans from eventually cloning them.

As reported by the New Scientist magazine, for USD1,500, DNA Copyright Institute will copyright a client's DNA against 'DNA theft and misappropriation, cloning and other unauthorised activities.'

While Netribution has every belief that the estates of Marilyn Monroe and John Lennon will do all in their power to protect their chromosomes, some doubt remains over the legal position of extinct dinosaurs.
