> you destroy the business model, and you'll lose the research.

Okay. Let's try that for awhile and if that doesn't work we can go back to acting as if companies are saving the world every day and if just us stupid constituents would acknowledge that everything would be awesome.

Anti-Monsanto folks in countries like Argentina aren't complaining about Monsanto preventing farmers there from coming up with alternative technology. They want to use Monsanto's technology, except without paying for it.

Then why are Argentinian farmers using Monsanto seeds?

In reality, they know these are so nice seeds that they want to use them.
