around 2011 - 2012 about 300,000 organic farmers sued the monsanto company because of natural contamination of their farms crops by the invasive monsanto crops.
the below article shows how the courts have resolved the
issue by reversing the ability of monsanto to sue farmers
who have been the victims of the monsantos contamination.
its an old document (JUNE 11, 2013), but unlike the hundreds
of years of work that the organic farmers and their ancestors put into maintaining the purity of their organic seeds , it still has value.
http://thinkprogress.org/health/2013/06/11/2133121/appeals-court-monsanto-not-sue-farmers/# On Monday, a federal appeals court dismissed organic farmers’ lawsuit against the biotech firm Monsanto Company — but extracted a binding promise from Monsanto that they would not sue farmers whose crops were inadvertently contaminated with their product. Monsanto, which owns the patents to the vast majority of genetically modified staple crops in the U.S., devotes $10 million a year and a staff of 75 specifically to investigate and sue farmers who use their GM technology without paying royalties. To date, they have pursued more than 800 patent infringement cases.
general motors could just as easily sue the owners of over 300,000 automobiles that were found to have defective parts that have caused thousands of deaths to their owners in an attempt to avoid taking responsibility for their faulty products.
and the courts that we have would decide in their favor.
the courts would simply dictate a binding agreement that all owners of GM automobiles with defective parts would not sue GM for the damages caused by the defective parts.
the verdict sounds a lot like the Valve corporations new TOS.
they say that justice is blind , I agree.
