Classic piracy. The original product is still there; you’re just making a copy.

They will sue you if you take your neighbors pesticide resistant seeds, sow them, douse them in pesticide so only the resistant ones survive, and sow your entire field with them.

I mean, I totally agree with all forms of breaking IP law on ethical grounds. But I also recognise that it’s still breaking the law right now.

You getting downvoted for stating what’s factually correct while still disagreeing with it is classic shooting the messenger.

The messenger is getting shot for not bringing receipts. I was about to shoot them too, then I retrieved a receipt: geneticliteracyproject.org/…/dissecting-claims-ab…

Why “but”? Why are those two statements viewed as contradicting each other in tone?

Isn’t classic piracy boarding ships and taking all their shit at gunpoint?

You should be allowed to do that.

I agree, but you aren’t. I think all IP law is stupid, but until i’m president of the universe, it’s still the law.

Yes, they will.
You’re taking the approach of an independent farmer that didn’t sign a contract with Monsanto. What you said mostly aligns with that scenario.
For the farmer that did sign a contract with Monsanto, that is a standard and required clause, and they do enforce it.
