What about the number of Monsanto legal actions against those not under contract to them?

Maybe you could list them here. Every judgment I've seen clearly shows that the defendant violated the agreement/law. Any grower who purchases Monsanto patented seeds has to sign a Monsanto Technology/Stewardship Agreement.

Even though the left, and some FReepers, argue that Monsanto is evil personified, farmers choose Monsanto's products of their own free will year after year. There has to be a reason for this, and maybe it's because Monsanto delivers the products that makes farmers more productive, and their farms more profitable. Monsanto does not place a gun to their customer's heads and force them to buy their seeds.

Monsanto aggressively protects their intellectual property. So what? So does Apple. You never hear the left calling Apple the spawn of Satan because they protect their property. Go figure.

Kindly reread what I wrote - I said nothing about customers who bought Monsanto seeds - I spoke of those that Monsanto claimed had Monsanto DNA show in their crops. I no longer have the cases at the ready, and there weren't many - but there have been some, and Monsanto prevailed.

I don't care how sterile Monsanto claims their seeds to be, DNA can still be transferred - that is basic science.
