Why is Monsanto so hated?

[WildCat]

Monsanto sells its seeds though third parties. Is it your expectation that people drive up to Monsanto’s head office and pick up seed?

In this case the third party was authorized to sell Monsanto’s seeds, no usage agreement for those seeds was ever signed that seeds would not be retained and re-planted. Monsanto sued the farmer for replanting seeds and won. This sufficiently refutes the claim made by you and others that Monsanto is only suing people who violate a signed contract not to replant seeds.

That's like buying a dvd of The Social Network from the guy on the off-ramp and then making copies of that and selling them on ebay. See how far the "I didn't sign a license" excuse gets you.

Why should I support a claim was already proved? At this point I suspect you have run out of arguments and are just being petulant, I mean just one post ago you asked me to prove we are discussing Monsanto’s business practices.

"Proved"? I don't think that word means what you think it does.

Remember your claim that pollen blowing on a field constituted patent infringement?

Your claim that accidental contamination is infringement was just proven wrong by myself a few posts ago. At best, it was unknown in 2002 and no one had ever been sued for it. You continue to ignore the fact that no one can find any instance of someone ever being sued for it since that time. Current california law (2008) specifically states that it is not infringement. How much does it have to be spelled out for you?

Yes that was my point; you were the one arguing the signed agreement was of importance and the basis for the lawsuits.

Current california law (2008) specifically states that it is not infringement.

That’s odd since patents fall under federal law.

Still cant defend your claim, eh?
