Someone tosses a patented DVD seed into your patch of DVD plants, and it grows there. You see that it's a good DVD plant, so you replant it. Someone claims you can't do that, even though it's a DVD seed that grew from a DVD plant that grew on your land, and you never signed any kind of agreement not to do that.

Analogies are hard!
