At least they face a crimes against humanity court for that.

But, that statement of yours is pure shit.

What do you mean? I only statdon't d that they went to court for it. Which they have. Your opinion on it being legal or not isn't relevant. They are in court for this. That's what they did is or isn't legal with or without a contract is much of what is in question.

You stated it in such a way that you have judged them guilty. The phrase "at least" is the key there. If you want to claim a neutral stance then you can phrase it in such a way to not show support.

Monsanto, has done everything for profit. That is what a company is supposed to do is it not. Specific to the cases of seed saving, they seem to also have mostly done it legally.

Yes, I believe that patently life is itself an act against humanity. So only judging them to have done what they and you have claimed that they have done. They've used that patent in unthinkable ways as well including sending illiterate poverty stricken parts of the world into starvation. The "at least" was that they had to go to court for it. I believe everyone involved should be jailed, honestly. It's an unthinkable act. Life should never be patented. It's life, it owns itself.

In the US it has been legal. In many countries, that's not so clear.

Game industry against Right to Repair bills

http://m.slashdot.org/story/322963

This reminds me a lot of the case with Monsanto, where they have a patient on a seed variety, and sue farmers who try to keep seeds for planting later from the crops they grew.

At least they face a crimes against humanity court for that.

No. Monsanto legally applied for and was granted a patent for the seed.

Monsanto sold the seed only to people that signed a contract that stated keeping seed is not allowed.

Monsanto has done zero wrong and the farmer is in breech of contract.

This is no different than Jim's case with the Chamber of Commerce. The chamber, as far as we are aware, was in breech of contract.

Now, if you want to argue if Monsanto should have been allowed to get the patent in the first place, or if their contract should be legal, or anything else, you are free to.

But, that statement of yours is pure shit.

The trouble is seed from a season of planting is different than the seed they bought. As you get cross pollination and a different seed as the end result.

If Monsanto had that genome of seed to patent. If not, just because something is cross bred doesn't mean that a patent extends to it.

The terms of the contract say they won't keep seed, which is fine. That's enforceable in a court.

In US court. They sell these all over the world though.
