To me the biggest threat is that the “owners” of these genes can actually sue farmers for having them in their crops even though they arrived there via bees that the farmer had no control over. Your farm can be colonized by GMO plants and then you owe someone for your use of them? Basically these companies are trying to own the “means of production” of food.
