I heard of one case like that. Are you saying the other 419 farmers were doing the same thing? I haven't done that research yet.

Mostly seed saving and even selling, I think, in violation of contract.

Ask yourself: what exactly would Monsanto have gained by suing farmers for accidental contamination? It's not like they're going to make money off the lawsuit itself, and it would not be going to act as any kind of deterrent, if the farmer didn't deliberately do something else like spraying the field to concentrate the contamination.
