I think in some cases, the judges just don't give a shit. Case in point: http://www.foodrenegade.com/judge-sides-monsanto-ridicules-organic-farmers/
Judge Sides With Monsanto, Ridicules Organic Farmers .... "While I have great respect for Judge Buchwald, her decision to deny farmers the right to seek legal protection from one of the world's foremost patent bullies is gravely disappointing. Her belief that farmers are acting unreasonable when they stop growing certain crops to avoid being sued by Monsanto for patent infringement should their crops become contaminated maligns the intelligence and integrity of those farmers. Her failure to address the purpose of the Declaratory Judgment Act and her characterization of binding Supreme Court precedent that supports the farmers' standing as 'wholly inapposite' constitute legal error. In sum, her opinion is flawed on both the facts and the law. Thankfully, the plaintiffs have the right to appeal to the Court of Appeals, which will review the matter without deference to her findings."... -----Original Message----- From: Eric Roberts [mailto:ow...@threeravensconsulting.com] Sent: Friday, March 16, 2012 7:17 AM To: cf-community Subject: RE: GMO Articles What I love is that in some of the court cases, Monsanto has claimed that they have never sued farmers for patent infringement when their field become cross pollinated with the frankenplants. They have been doing just that. There have been quite a few cases like this. Do they think that Judges and lawyers do not read other cases related to the issue at hand? Or they just don't give a shit since they have so much power. -----Original Message----- From: Medic [mailto:hofme...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, March 16, 2012 6:13 AM To: cf-community Subject: Re: GMO Articles Yeah, but I think if it weren't mandated in some way or another a corporation would find a way to game the system.
