    the defendant was trying to scam the company.

    No, that’s a lie. Monsanto may have characterized it as “scamming,” but I don’t give a fuck about monopolists’ opinions and neither should anybody else.

    Even intentionally preferentially gathering and replanting “Monsanto’s” “patented” seeds is not wrong, end of!

      These are public court cases, Monsanto isn’t characterizing anything. The ones I’ve seen are deliberate attempts to use the seeds without paying. Do you have examples of a farmers livelihood destroyed by Monsanto? Because it doesn’t seem good business to me for them to attack random farmers. I implore you to look at the link I posted or google it yourself.

        Yes, I know. Re-read my last sentence.
