Lots of ranting, no substance. By buying a Lexmark cartridge you are agreeing to the following:

"RETURN EMPTY CARTRIDGE TO LEXMARK FOR RECYCLING Please read before opening. Opening this package or using the patented cartridge inside confirms your acceptance of the following license agreement. The patented Return Program cartridge is sold at a special price subject to a restriction that it may be used only once. Following this initial use, you agree to return the empty cartridge only to Lexmark for recycling. If you don’t accept these terms, return the unopened package to your point of purchase. A regular price cartridge without these terms is available."

So by buying the cartridge you are signing a contract to use the cartridge once and use the patents once. Plain and simple. Don't like it, don't buy it. If you break the contract by refilling it a second time, you are violating the contract and the patent license. Plain and simple.
