Yeah, Monsanto is actually a huge, and very ugly company. It's not only that the areas become overcome with GMO's, it's that when cross-pollination occurs, Monsanto literally owns the plants and seeds. Monsanto v Schmeiser 1998 is where the precedent was first set, I think. There's another precedent they set, where you cannot re-use second generation seeds. That is, if you legally purchase their seeds, any seeds that fall from plants as a result, cannot be used again. All because, they've actually managed to get a patent on genes.
